    Don't you think that could be a reflection?
    They look well fed.

    Is that the enclosure they were kept in?

    yes that is there home from the sound of it and the pic of the frogs I believe is on the screen lid :/

    They want $50 for everything

    But the condition of the terrarium makes me concerned about the health of the frogs

    Can't afford spring water and Rainwater has been fine for my greys... as the lived in it. My Reptile guy and others on here said that was fine for my greys.

    Not so sure about for Whites since they are not native here....

    (Just called my guy and he says he thinks rain water will be fine... and says he uses distilled for his dart frogs... so idk now)

    So I called the lady with the frogs and yes that is there home, yes its dirty (she said this like it wasnt a big deal :/). The lid is broken and they do get out from time to time :/.... And the Frogs back does have scarring =(. She said it got out and the ferret attacked it. And the frogs are under 2 years old.

    Not to sound like a jerk, if you can't afford the proper housing, water, ect, why would you take on theses animals? What if one gets sick? Will you be able to afford care? I would keep those questions in mind if you can't even afford the right cage or water.

    I'm not going to get them if I cant provide the proper size terrarium. I was asking IF a 33 gallon was big enough. Also just because I can't afford bottled water doesn't mean I cant treat tap water. I asked IF Rain water would be safe. We actually don't have any vets around here that take frogs =( I found that out trying to get a stool sample done ... one said they could send it away but the price was outrageous because they couldn't do it there. But I would try everything else possible... baths etc.

    On here I have always been told 10gallons per frog .... the tank is a 33... which gives 15 gallons per since they are bigger. There was no reason to assume I was trying to put them in a home not fit for them.

    Also rather than buying them and then coming here I am asking questions first. If you read the first post you will see I said there is a CHANCE I was getting whites... hence my reason for inquiring about there needs first.
