Black and green dart frog?

[whiteroses91]

I'm looking for a dendrobates auratus (dart frog). I found them for $18 anyone have them cheaper?

[Paul Rust]

That is great price depending on the species. What is it? Panamanian G+B or Costa-Rican G+B?

[whiteroses91]

panamanian G+B. I know I was suprised too, but it was worth a try to find one cheaper

Ya that is a great price. I usually see them from $25-$35 for Panamanian and the Costa Ricans G+B.

I saw a frog today, at the pet store, that I was almost possitive was a dendrobates auratus for 8 bucks. I called back after I got to thinking about it and they tried to tell me it was some toad. I googled the toad and it doesn't even look anything like what I saw at the pet store.
I would have had a fit, if it was a Pan G+B for $8!

That is a crying shame if it is true. If they have a dart frog at the pet store they will probably kill it or whoever they sell it to will. The environmental requirements for them are not very forgiving.

This pet store isn't TOO bad. I'm not giving it a slap on the back or anything, cuz it's not amazing. Most of their fish/frogs/ect have relatively nice homes. Most have real plants in their tanks, they're always clean, but that's just when I go in.


P.s. I need a new lid for my 10. Anyone got an extra?

$18 is a great price for an auratus. What kind of toad did they say it was?

[whiteroses91]

I can't really remember, but I think it was fire belly. It could have been something different, not 100% on that.

Wow, one has to love the ignorance of some pet stores haha.
