    Default Free to good home- Xenopus borealis local pick up or pay shipping!

    hi, I have three beautiful X. Borealis frogs and 3 X.?(slightly larger than borealis). X. Borealis(pure) is small, about 1.5" to 2" max, and X. ?(slightly larger than borealis) is around 2" max. They are free to a good home, as I can no longer care for them-have been too busy at work.
    If someone's willing to take all of them, I can pay for their shipping; for individual frogs, I kindly ask that you pay for the medium USPS priority shipping($7.50 with tracking#)
    You can also pick them up for free locally as well- I am located in Boston, MA.

    X. Borealis is the one that looks like darker grey. They have metallic silverish hue on their tummy, quite beautiful. I dont know if they are male or female, but I do know that at least one of them croak(sounds like s ping pong ball, really loud) and the brownish frog doesn't croak, thus must be female. The one that I dont know which species, is the one that looks brownish. both are smaller species of the xenopus frog. Borealis frogs were purchased by me as a froglet, about a year old.

    hi there!
    thank you so much for replying- I can ship them to you, and I will cover the shipping if someone can provide a home for all of them. You can send me a PM with your shipping address, and I can send them out this week. The frogs will be packed separately and I will place them in the Styrofoam box to insulate them from cold.

    Are you sure you want to ship them? I have no problem driving up to meet you somewhere - I just have no city driving in me and Boston terrifies me as far as driving lol

    hi Jenna,
    I just realized that it is only about an hour drive to rhode island! But I can't drive(no license! I Know, but there is MBTA in the city...) but my husband does,, so I will have to ask him when I get home tonight before committing to you.
    But if he can't or wont, I can ship them out via UPS overnight box(I do have very nice thick styrofoam box that I can use from work- I work at a lab). All 6 frogs can fit into the box in their individual container with heat pack.
    I remember the froglets arrived with lots of moistened sponges in their container, which is how they will be packed to you.

    I have already received them and am not going to be selling these particular frogs. They will be kept as pets instead of breeding stock.
