That's quite an attractive treefrog. Good luck with him Kurt. Have you ever kept Plethodontid salamanders before? They can be delicate.

Tell me about it. I had a Bolitoglossa dofleini. It dropped its tail that first night whilst I was sleeping. My vet did a fecal on the salamander and found some nasty parasites. So he put the salamander on a daily drug given orally. After ten days of this the salamander dropped dead. That sucked because that was a very cool salamander. Not very colourful but it had the fastest tongue in the west, and the coolest hands and feet.

Updates on the progress of the cave salamanders. The seller shipped them Tuesday afternoon and gave me the tracking number. They made it to Gainesville, then into Jacksonville. Last recorded check in was a 12:34 AM Wednesday morning in Jacksonville. So the best I can figure is that they are still in Florida, even though they were supposed to be here yesterday after noon. They are now 24 hours late. I am worried when they finally show they will be dead and well on they're way to decomposition. All inquiries within the post office have brought no new info, only anger and frustration. Needless to say I am bull**** and want to tear someone a new one. This is totally unacceptable, no animal should have to suffer because of some *******'s incompetence.

Oh my *******god! I really hope they arrive ok, Kurt. I totally agree, no animal should have to suffer because of some *******'s incompetance! Will you be able to get a refund if they arrive dead(hopefully they're not dead)? I would rip them a new one or two.
BTW, those are nice treefrogs, Kurt. Great find, and hopefully it does well for you

[Kurt]

Thanks. The problem is who can I tear apart? Chances are the responsible party will never have to deal with the consequences of his or her incompetence. The seller says not to worry, that I will be taken cared of.

Rhacophorus reinwardtii are indeed a beautiful frog, as a few others in the genus. Check out these relatives -

No problem. Atleast the seller will compensate you. Those are such awesome frogs, you are gonna make me drool! I think my fave would be R. pardalis

Yeah pardalis is a beautiful frog.
