Hi,

Georgeous frog. Great choice. I was looking into getting some from understory enterprises, until I saw the price tag.

Thanks! for how much UE sell them?

glad I saved the email for reference, it was dated june 7th 2012. I'd like to buy from them but Im on a tight budget.

Hi Scott,
Here are the current prices:
Cruziohyla calcarifer - $385 - limited numbers ready for June
Agalychnis spurrelli – gliding tree frog - $175 each – just arrived from Ecuador

We are going to be bringing frogs into the US ourselves and then
once they are safely in the US, they will be shipped directly to
customers by UPS Next Day Air.
There will be a $15 box/import fee per order (to help cover, the cost
of heat packs, gel packs & shipping boxes and related import fees)
plus whatever UPS charges for the shipping. The UPS charge to 18103
will be $42 or $55 depending on the size of the box we need to use.


Our next shipment will be in June but I have already applied for the
CITES for that so we can not add any more CITES frogs for that
shipment.
This means that I can not bring in the A. spurrelli in June but it is
still possible to bring in the calcarifer if we can finalize all
details by the 11th.
We will be bringing in another shipment in early September.
A 25% non-refundable deposit now will hold the frogs for you until
that shipment.

Thanks for your inquiry.

Wow that's crazy! now i feel extremely lucky i got my frogs for free, but well UE began this breeding project with frogs from the Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center and now every 50% of the sales go to the reserve which is a great way to help with conservation. This frogs are very rare species here in my country in the wild they are almost impossible to see, also they are not easy to breed as they will only lay their eggs on vines or roots overhanging a deposit of water on trees, but there's a reserve here called " Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center" they introduced some plastic tubes into the forest to simulate this deposites around 2003 i believe, now this is one of the few places where you can see this frogs almost every year. I am planning to use this same method to breed them.

Hi,

No attempts to breed them yet, i'm waiting for my payment to build a new rain chamber, my old rain chamber was 1,30m tall so i was using a very strong pump which make the rain very strong, i will build a smaller one and will also order a mist system from MistKing. I hope everything will be ready by the end of this month, i will be posting pictures when the rain chamber is ready, thanks for your interest!
