Hi,

I have purchased one of my several frogs from BJs. (at the White Plains, NY expo) . Most of my plants come from them. The company is owned and operated by 2 lovely , caring individuals. IMO they care very much about their business.

In general / shipping frogs:
If possible , try to choose a frog ' in person'. Can you get to a show? When doing so, you are able to see the effort the vendor has put into displaying and caring for their 'charges'. It is always best to avoid shipping if possible. If ( which is seldom ) I have a frog shipped the only way I do this.... is to have the frog sent to my fedex hub ( overnight) and MEET it there when they open the following morning. My personal rule is : if a breeder is unable to this, then I don't buy it from them. You want to do everything possible to lessen the odds of a 'delivery' issue. The less time the frog spends in that deli cup 'banging around' during delivery .......... the better !

If a show purchased is planned, be sure to have a suitable 'travel container' set-up and with you for the species you are planning to purchase. Remember: the frogs at a show had to travel too ! They are stressed ! Focus on keeping the frog hydrated and as quiet as possible on its journey home with you. If the vendor is NOT the breeder, they should willingly divulge all information necessary for the frog's successful transition to your care; including information as to who or where the frogs came from originally. This should never be a secrete !
