After all that drama, my RETF's arrived safe and sound about an hour agoNeedless to say, I'm not sure I would ever have an animal shipped, that was very stressful when they told me I would have to wait until tomorrow morning to get my package. When I told them it was live amphibians, they connected me to my local hub and she got the package to me. I don't intend to buy anymore frogs for quite some time now, but next time I do, I will wait until the spring expo even if it means waiting 11 months LOL
I'm going to post this thread and then edit to add pictures to it because the pics are on my phone and it's much easier to type on a computer.
They are a cross of albino and standard RETF's. Ordered them from LLLReptile. I'm in love with them already! Don't worry, my hands were washed and I only had them on my finger long enough to snap a picture and move them to the critter keeper. Unfortunately forgot my gloves at home so had to make clean hands work.
The first little guy I took out was trying to get out as soon as I opened the box. He/she has a pretty bad nose rub but otherwise seems healthy. This one is the smaller of the two at about 1 1/4." Should I put some neosporin on the nose rub when we get home? This guy will not settle down. Hopping all over the keeper and seems stressed. Moved the keeper from my office to the neighboring office which is unoccupied, dark, and quiet.

Next little guy is about 1 1/2-1 3/4"s. This one is calmer, and I wasn't even sure if he/she was going to be alive when I opened the container. Definitely alive, a small, minor, nose rub that I didn't even notice until he went to sleep and the color changed. Color has already improved hugely from this picture and he is sound asleep.

Have left them alone now in the other office now. Hopefully the little one can settle down a bit!
