Anybody have experience with this website? They currently have about every frog I want. If I get some good feedback I might be about to drop some real dough.

Hey Richie, Obviously I have not used this website....But Wow!, the Frogs. I particularly liked the Peacock ornate tree frog. Very pretty. Oh and the Waxy Monkey frog has gorgeous eyes.

Darn It, Its just not fare. You are sooooo lucky.

Anybody actually get some animals from them??

and Ebony, I thought the same thing when I saw that peacock tree frog, but upon image searching them I've yet to come up with another specimen so perfect. beautifal though.

Yeah, there is some cools tuff over there. I liked the marbled reed frog and the Vietnamese spotted gliding frog. By the way, that peacock treefrog is a juvenile. As they mature they change color. See my photo albums to see an adult. Its labeled "big-eyed treefrog".

[Ebony]

Gee Kurt, I see what you mean. Apart from the beautiful big eyes you wouldn't think it was the same frog.

[Kurt]

Well, it unfortunately is. I got a pair of these peacock treefrogs at a show once and about six or less monthslater they looked like the picture in my album. If they kept the juvenile colouring they would be one one of my favorite frogs.

If the owner of General Exotics is named Eric and his info says Moore, OK then I have had some communication with him. He is only a middleman, he gets orders and then gets them from someplace in Dallas. I asked him if I could come and look at his setups and he became very rude. He said he did not have a walk-in store nor did he allow people at his house. Also said he didn't have time to chat with me unless I was placing an order. He did not mention that he raises any frogs at all. This conversation took place before the big raid on a pet/reptile distributor in Arlington (near Dallas). Just saying..............? ..that's all. No member of the herp society here has ever heard of him.

A bunch of "dealers" were using Global Exotics in Arlington, TX (in the Dallas metropolitan area) as their source and shippers. Reptiles'n'critters is another example. They all switched suppliers after the big raid on Global.

Last night I bought my first ever animal online from them. They should ship them Mon. or Tues. I plan on taking pictures as soon as I open the box. I will show them to you guys and give you an update.

I ordered two captive breed baby Blue -White's Tree Frogs.

Nice! I saw your setup they should be quite happy there. Is that waterfall bowl big enough for them as a water dish? If not you may need an additional water dish. Please keep us posted on how the frogs were shipped, condition they arrived in, and health.

I think it will be ok when they are babies, but when they are much older I will need to take out the bottom shelf of the waterfall (pretty large basin) or add a waterdish. I do have a small water dish that I was going to add with my treated water. I have been using only treated water like I supposed to in the terrarium. btw I also use filtered water with my birds too. It can help prevent feather plucking.
