Hi Jess, I know a couple of years ago someone was selling Whites tree frogs on Trade me. MAF heard about it and apparently tracked all the frogs down and destroyed them. Back in the 1800 when the Green & Goldens, Southerns and the Whistling tree frogs were introduced to NZ, so were the Whites but MAF say they didn't survive and so anyone keeping these frogs and are court get prosecuted and the frogs destroyed. MAF are very strict so we will never be able to have these frogs or any other frogs that come from out of NZ :-(.

I know someone who was involved in this and it was devastating for them. But MAF must know what they are doing and its for our own Natives safety.
