Green Frogs (Rana clamitans)-- Information needed first

[killerecho]

Jess, my friend has green frogs and tadpoles around her property in Pennsylvania by the hundreds. I can ask her, if you can make sure that there are no legal issues with transporting this species across state lines.

I have a bunch of green frogs. I bred them and kept some of the babies because they had neat patterns. The two that originally bred died a couple months ago (very sad to loose them, they were beautiful green). The ones I have left have not bred at all, but they are young. I hope for them to breed this coming spring. Who knows if they will or not?

Glad that I'm not the only one interested in them. They are very fun to watch. They know when feeding time is and they all sit in a row looking out of the front glass waiting for someone to bring them dinner! Some of them even will take food from your hand and make little noises at you. Very cute frogs!

They also seem to enjoy waterfalls. I have a little canister filter in their tank that I made a waterfall with. They like to sit on the ramp and let the water flow over and around them.

Only draw back is males tend to be very territorial so I wouldn't have more than one in a tank and he may also bully the females at feeding time. If you have a male you may need to feed him separately.

I've never seen green frogs offered for sale on any of the popular herp websites and forums. Not even wild caught. I guess there isn't much interest in them. Plus they are so common in the wild that most people just catch their own.
