Moving and taking frogs with you.. Has anyone done it?

Some pet stores will assist in shipping (as far as receiving since you don't have anyone waiting for you). I'm guessing airlines wouldn't let you carry them onto the plane.

They might let him bring them on the plane. I saw a guy bring a Lobster from Maine onto a plane.

lol, really?

I'd give it a try ribbits- call the arline. If they'll let you bring it on board, it would minimize box time and stress, greatly increasing the chance for survival.

Call up Anson Wong. Worlds best smuggler.lol He will tell you how to hide animals in carry-on luggage or how to tape them to your body.

If you are in US Territory you can ship them back to the states without having to get permits. Just pack them like a normal reptile shipment with heat or cool packs and ship them with the same airline you fly if possible.

Im going to look into it if i put them on the same flight, it makes sense if you can since people probably take there dogs with them aswell, why not frogs. Hopefully i wont have to sell them all again then start over in the states.

Are you in US territory?

a commonwealth, Im in Puerto Rico. I dont think it would be a problem since its part of the U.S, its not like i need a passport or anything

Ok, it will be easy to import then. You wont need any permits.

Flying from PR is just like flying state side...no customs. You should be able to fly them with you if you pack them into your carry on. This is my guess...good luck and if you can't maybe someone on here lives in the town you are relocating too and would help you out!!!

I know this thread is a bit old but I have the same question about moving and flying with frogs.

I wonder if they need to x-ray them if they're in the carry on luggage, and is that harmful for them??

I've never had to move of fly with my frogs, but as long as they aren't thrown around they should be ok. X-Ray should be fine too. Its only minimum exposure so should be the same as if you took your frog the the Herp Vet for an X-Ray.

If I do it I'll report back In the meantime I found this page:
