Well im wanting to get a sexed pair or proven pair of Azureus without paying the almost $300 which is why I was attracted to DF. I live in Washington state and there isnt very many shows around here or reptile shops. I mean I want to get good frogs but I kinda have a budget as well.

You shouldn't have to pay $300 for a sexed/proven pair of Azureus... you can get proven pairs for closer to $200 and I've seen and sold sexed pairs in the $100-150 range. Keep an eye on the classifieds section of the forums.



As for the main topic here... Do NOT breed the frogs you have with frogs from other vendors. That is the big concern everyone has with these guys. You can't trust that what they are selling you is actually what they are selling you. With the renaming and hybrids that they have done... you could have a true Azureus or you could have a frog that was the result of an Azureus and another tinc breeding but just happens to look more like an azureus so they sold it that way since they weren't really able to sell their hybrids. The way they have changed their names and stories so many times makes it tough to believe them when they tell you what they are giving you. Everyone else in the PDF hobby does not want the muddied bloodlines they have to be mixed with the existing lines in the hobby. So, again... do NOT mix them with other breeders' frogs. Keep them isolated.

Do the hobby a favor and stay away from these people. They blatantly admit to creating hybrids.

You say you are in WA state. Over on DB there is a experienced dart frogger named thedude who lives in WA. Sign up on there and send him a PM and ask him to give you some names of people in your state that raise and breed Azureus. There are a huge amount of dart frog breeders in your state. I'm sure he can give you the names of some reputable people. Unfortunately, I believe he only raises mostly thumbs, Pumilios and Variabilis.
