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!
