    Unhappy RETF arrived dead today..

    Poor little guy looked like he was too stressed in the shipping. Company offered free replacement but said no thanks, asked for a refund. TERRIBLE way of shipping..

    Dont ever buy from reptilecity.com!

    So sorry to read this ! It must have been just terrible for you, Sorry
    Good for you to ask for a refund!
    ?? Try Mike Novy ( Rain Forest Junkies) or Josh Frogs
    I don't know about shipping this time of the year to Texas though.

    Perhaps a reptile show near where you live?
    You can usually check the vender list for a planned show, and check things out before you go ?

    I would never buy from them. Just do a web search on them. You'll see nothing but bad reviews. Even if only 10% of them are true it's enough to turn your stomach!

    First off, I'm so sorry for your loss, I would have been pretty upset. On that note, I took the edtra safe route and I ordered my RETFs from mike novy! They arrive tomorrow and I'm so excited. He is a super nice guy. I live in New Orleans (not too far from TX). He is flying mine via southwest cargo, they will only be traveling for 6 hours from what I understand. So they won't get exposed to crazy temps or be traveling too long.

    That is horrible news to hear. I'll join everyone here in saying I am sorry for your loss. I got my RETG back in October but prior to I spent a good 3-4 months researching trying to find a reputable breeder. I heard nothing but bad things from most of the places I researched due to them being third party sellers. You want to look for someone who deals specifically with herps. I finally found a place called LLLReptile. They had all great reviews and great prices. It made me nervous overnighting the little guy from California but I was thoroughly impressed. He was packaged perfectly and was completely healthy. He has grown so much and is a beautiful frog. They really know what they are doing as well. Hope the best for you and your future frogs!
