Early Good Morning from SC

[Boxermomsc]

Hi all, I'm Lisa and I live in Columbia, SC USA with 2 Boxers, 25 Orchids, 5 African Dwarf Frogs and two Green Tree Frogs . I am hoping to add two more Green Tree Frogs, a couple of White's Tree Frogs and maybe a Cuban. I have a 20 Gallon (US) Tank with Screen Cover. There is nowhere in Columbia to buy Frogs, the closest I can find are Fire-Bellied Toads (which I've had in the past in addition to Tree Frogs). I can drive to Charlotte, but the selection's not that great. Are any of the online shippers reputable? I had Tree Frogs 20 years ago when I lived in California and had a great Reptile and Amphibian Store with a great stock and Staff. Btw, what do others say about keeping Fire-Bellied Toads with Tree Frogs; I never had a problem in the past, but I understand that some people do. Thanks for "listening". Lisa

I was stationed in beautiful Monterey while in the coast Guard and attended college in Santa Cruz after discharge. I also lived in Carmel Highlands for a few years, just 25 miles n. of Big Sur. Lisa

Welcome to the forum It is never advised to mix frogs. Each frog produces different toxins on their skin that can be harmful to other species. Fire belly toads are especially toxic to other species of frog.

Hi Lisa, welcome to Frog Forum

[Frog Tropics]

Hello and welcome! That's quite an admirable selection of plants and animals!

Most of the main/major online shippers are extremely reputable and you can check their feedback with the various forums, as well, to put your mind at ease. That said, if you're concerned, you might try checking for local reptile/amphibian expos in your area. There are several in different parts of California each year, as I recall.

Good luck!
