USA availability of X. Borealis and X Muelleri?
I will be traveling in the US in early July this year. I am kind of hoping to run into one or both of these species. what's my chances ? Shipping is a possibility as I will be in VA and IL for prolonged stops with family. I am hoping to get a pair or trio of each.

Never seem any in Champaign, Charleston, Mattoon, or Effingham IL. Only X. Laevis and mostly albino but I've seen some pigmented frogs here and there. I was in PetCo in Alton, IL a few weeks ago but they don't carry any aquatic frogs at all except ADF but they weren't on stock anyways.
I went to to Inland Aquatics in Terra Haute, IN a few months ago and saw no aquatic frogs.
There is another pet shop in IN I believe, if I see any I will let you know.

Xenopus.com is your best bet. I know he definitely has Borealis on hand as I have ordered them from him myself. Burley is really easy to work with.

Looks like Burley is going to be able to hook me up. Shipping is not too bad, but I almost feel like getting more frogs than I need just to fill the box. Says he can do 4 pairs in a box. I only want a pair of Muelleri and a trio of Borealis. I can only get away with setting up one more tank at home and one at work and I will be pushing my luck then. Too bad I can't (shouldn't) keep tropicalis with either species. Could always keep the Borealis with the Muelleri or the Muelleri with my Laevis OR just forget the tropicallis and get 4 of each species I originally wanted. Was hoping to do only 20 gallon tanks for these 2 species though. To my knowledge only Laevis can be found here in Canada.
Suggestions? Thoughs on mixing species? I know some of you have done it.
Re: USA availability of X. Borealis and X Muelleri?
I have kept Laevis with Borealis and Tropicalis in the same tank. I had none with ill effects and multiple matings. I even had some very large female Laevis in the tank and never had any issues. They were in a four foot tank so space may have helped.

Jenna- Did your tropicallis bask at all or leave the water?
