I'm so happy to see you have some nice frogs. I heard the European shows blow away the US shows. I know some one thats been to Germany and brought back some frogs back in the days. If you don't mine me asking what did you pay for the trio. Just curious to compare the prices here.

Well, I can't compare to the shows in the US since I've never been to one. However, I can tell you the price! 220 euro for the trio, but my friend managed to bring it down to 215 euro. That's about 300 USD or 2000 SEK for three (well, two...) frogs. I could have paid alot more than that, so I'm very pleased.

Congrats Martin on the new frogs. Its nice to know that our Frog Forum Chat Coordinator now has actual frogs.

I think 215 Euro is a good price on a breeding group of frogs that have proven so difficult to find over there. You can't really compare prices on frogs from one part of the world to the other. They are so common here and many people are breeding them that is why our prices are lower. But if you look at the trouble people in Europe and Canada are having trying to find them I personally would spend what ever it took to get a quality pair. The thing you need to do is really establish a breeding program and start promoting them in the hobby over there. We get people asking for them all the time. Please work on being THE supplier of Red Eyes over there so I can refer people to you for frogs.

Good luck with them Martin

You're words are full of truth Cheri! Like I said, the money was not really an issue, we would have given him any amount of money, as long as we got the frogs. And yes, I give you my word, we are going to breed them. My goal is to establish the red eyes in Sweden, and then expand to the rest of Europe with healthy, captive bred red eyes. They are too a too amazing creature to go unnoticed in Europe.

Hmmm...How to tell which one is the male and which one is the female? This is the surest way.

[ViperJr]

No mistaking the frogs there! The female is quite much larger than the male, but it's hard to know when you only see them one at a time (and when you've only seen them a few times).

Congratulations Martin!!!! They are beautiful frogs. Look like it was well worth the wait!
