    Hello and welcome to Frog Forum.
    It's a pleasure to provide you with a well deserved "like"on your introduction.

    It's refreshing to read you are here asking questions BEFORE the frog is purchased!

    It was a wonderful thing you did. I'm sure you learned quite a bit.
    I have been there....yes ...it's exhausting, very sad and costly.... both on your heart and your pocketbook.

    Good luck with your endeavours.
    There are lots of Whites Tree frogs 'keepers' and experts here on Frog Forum.
    You will never be short of any needed information.

    You might seriously consider purchasing your Whites from a breeder rather than a big box pet store !!!
    You want a captive bred frog... NOT a wild caught! It is great to know this ahead of time and know to ASK!!!

    Check-out Reptile and Amphibian shows in your area. As you read through threads you will also become very familiar with the more commonly recommended sources for the acquisition of a healthy frog.

    There are Whites that have blue eyes-----they are stunning !


    I'll post the links to few threads below -- hopefully..... to help get you off on the right foot :

    I am most definitely looking for breeders and not pet store frogs! I actually made a separate post asking about any breeders in my area in the tree frog forum. I've had just a terrible experience every time I relied on a pet store. Great for supplies, awful for actual animals! They always die prematurely.

    Thank you for all the info, I'll get right on that. I have no idea if shows come to my area. I'll definitely need to check that out. Thank you again!

    Also, thank you, too, Carlos!
