I am trying to save them from the people who join forums like this one below:

Seriously they put them in a bucket of bleach? I saw another thread that made me sick

I would very much like to obtain some cuban tree frogs from you! I have several enclosures sitting around just waiting for new inhabitants, I have a thriving colony of feeder roaches, and I live in Jackson County, MO (the winters here can be and usually are very cold!)

Please let me know if you still have some frogs available.

Are you still sending them out? And please message me ASAP if you are Tom! Thanks!

I have 4 now and it looks like I will have 2 more tomorrow. I want to wait until they are a little bigger before I send them but you are welcome to as many as you like if you pay shipping. They are still so tiny and I just love watching them morph. Please know that I am not a breeder just a friend to frogs keeping them safe from my neighbors and keeping the local frogs safe from the CTF.

I found someone local to give them to. Yeah!

Aw I miss my Cuban, If anyone does find a cheap way to ship them I definitely want one!

Hey, I have been absent for awhile. all looks good to start shipping the CTF's. The only delay is the heat. It has been very hot here and when it's not hot we have hurricanes and tornadoes. The weather should be cooling down in September and I can start shipping out the Cuban Tree frogs I have captured here. I see that some other people have stepped up to "deport" them to new homes out of Florida. That is great to hear. I will pick up the shipping for awhile until everyone on my list has the frogs I promised. They will go by 2-day priority mail. not too expensive, about $6.00. They will be fine in a moist ventilated cup when the weather drops under 85 degrees. Tom

are you still doing this? Im in Michigan and definitely interested if you are

[badkelpie]

Me too! I have a 20 gallon tank, so 2 or 3? I am in Eastern Washington State, we have cold winters!

[tommyboy]

Ok, so it was exactly a month since my last post. The weather was 95 degrees every day but now the temps have dropped enough to where it should be safe to ship these guys out. I will begin sending frogs out on Monday. I have to limit the free shipping to those people who already messaged me or mentioned they want one in previous posts. if you haven't done so yet, please message me your address. Once all those are shipped out, I will see if I can do a second round. I will be shipping 2 day priority mail for expense purposes. I will pack them as best I can, but cannot guarantee live arrival on free frogs. They are very hardy frogs so they should be fine. You are welcome to pay for overnight, but if you want them for free it will be 2 day priority. This is a philanthropic endeavor so be kind if something doesn't go perfect. Thanks Tom

This is the latest addition of CTF...He decided to jump in my house tonight for a free ride across the country next week

[LizardMama]

Tommy, I just sent you a message with my mailing address. Thank you so much and thank you for saving the frogs!

[tommyboy]

Hi, I'm a fellow frog lover (and animal lover in general) living in the Tampa, Florida area. I caught a Cuban Tree Frog that I'm willing to ship to a new home, so it doesn't eat the local frogs, and doesn't have to be killed. The frog is about 2" long, greyish with spots and green around the face. I can try to get a photo later. I have styrofoam to pack around a small plastic container with air holes, and I'm thinking I'll put in a wet cloth for moisture. (If anyone has more shipping tips, please let me know!) I would like to be reimbursed for the Priority postage. If someone is already on a waiting list with Tom or Nancy for a single frog, maybe I can coordinate with them and ship this one to a person who has been waiting. Otherwise, I'll ship to the first person who tells me they want it and is willing to pay the postage. (I have been buying and selling on eBay for about a decade as confetticrafts.) Thanks to everyone for being kind to animals!

Here are some pictures of the Cuban Tree Frog from Tampa who's looking for a home (see above post):




It looked very pale grey earlier, but sort of dark brown this evening.

[tommyboy]

I sent out 2 frogs each to several people tonight. I want to see how they do before I ship any more. The temps in Florida are a high of 86 and a low of 75. so that is right at the safe maximum temperature. Since they are going by 2 day priority, I would feel better about getting some feedback from those who get the frogs before anymore go out. I really hope this works out. They are awesome frogs that will make great pets. They are great eaters and not shy at all. They go through a variety of color changes depending on time of day and mood. cool to watch. For those who are getting the frogs this week, just be mindful of their secretions. It is not toxic but will irritate the eyes if you handle them and rub your eyes. I wear gloves because I have gotten some in my eyes before. just burns and is irritating for awhile.

Thanks Tom

I have an update. Now that we're looking more carefully, we're finding more CTFs. We found 2 more yesterday, and 2 more today. So I have 5 total now looking for a new home up north. i haven't had anyone contact me yet to say they they want a frog, and I haven't heard from Tom or Nancy yet about whether people are already on the waiting list who want frogs. So, anyone out there???

I'll try to get more photos of the new frogs and post them tomorrow. If you want a frog and can reimburse me for the priority postage, please let me know!

Here are some photos of the 5 Cuban Tree Frogs I have caught near Tampa. They are looking for new homes up north, as I wrote above. So let me know if you want one or more frogs, and are able to reimburse me for the Priority shipping to get them to you. Thanks!
