Just wondering if you had any luck buying RETFs and having them shipped. I wonder if I should just cut the shop out of the picture, but the one good thing is that they will credit me if they die within 10 days or so.

I know on the talk to the frog board that you were getting some recently. I'd have posted to you on that board but my password isn't working.

My two others seem to be doing fine.

I buy and sell frogs through the mail/ups/fedex regularly. I have never had an issue shipping (or having them shipped to me), However, I won't buy something through the mail unless it if from someone experienced with shipping of live animals. When I ship, I follow some strict guidelines with preparing the animals and packaging them. I also won't ship unless weather conditions are ideal, and next day priority is available.

As for personal or specific accounts, I would prefer not to talk about them online, but would be happy to discuss one on one. You can email me if you like. bogart6868@aol.com

The RETF's I was specifically talking about on the frog in the past few months did come in fine, and are doing very well.. in fact.. They are expecting parents!! Found these last Thurs..

There are tads in the eggs now, and should hatch long about Wed or so..

The Frog is having some technical difficulties, some people seem to be locked out.

Wow that is so cool! I guess the ones you got are adults, that was pretty quick! Was it a planned breeding (rain tank, etc)? Anyways, I'll get in touch with you via email.

Hey Rag.. You have email..

BTW, Some of the frogs I purchased this year were adults, alot of them were not fully mature though.. The first two groups were cycled and put into the rain chamber.. and that left me some eggs. I am hoping to get more, as 2 of the females in the tank are very swollen with eggs still..
