ID Please - Blue-toed Tree Frog

hecktick_punker Dec 18, 2003 07:37 PM

I work at a pet store and the reptile manager put out a reptile order a few weeks ago. She ordered 3 blue-toed tree frogs. We recieved them and they are beautiful. I honestly have no idea what species they are and am not that knowledgable about tree frogs. Why our reptile manager ordered a species of tree frog that no employee at the store knows about is a mystery and I wish that she would have talked to me before ordering them but we now have these three tree frogs in our care and I'm in search of information about them (a scientific name would make my day). Below is a picture from Mark M. Lucas's website that looks very similar to the 3 frogs we recieved. Any help you can offer is appriciated, thanks

I saw one of these at a local shop a few months back and fell in love. They are absolutely exquisite little creatures. What are they selling for in your shop?

They are very pretty tree frogs. I can't seem to find any information on them besides that they are native to the Dominican Republic/Haiti. We are selling them for $50 each (I don't set the prices, my manager does) which is a little steep but they are very beautiful. I don't think that they will sell anytime soon because very few people around here are willing to spend $50 on a frog so I'll see how they do in our store for the next few months and then might take them home. Talk to you later,
