Why are D.Azureus so expensive in canada?

[Bombina Bob]

Hello FF, I'm planning to go to the next reptile expo in my area on the 14th for some dart frogs. I really love the D. tinctorius "azureus" but they are so dang expensive!! i don't even understand why but last time i was there there were 2 there for $500 And i go to check Josh's frogs and LLLreptile, $60 and $39. I understand everything is higher in price in Canada because of our health care but i don't understand why the frogs are more than tripled in price?

Ryan, 500 for 2 is a rip off.
Check breeders elsewhere, i think normal price here is 75-80 each, im gonna be looking into it too soon.

If they are a proven pair, they will command a higher price. But $500 is ridiculous. I can get a proven pair of sweet Pumi's for less than that here.

Are you on the Canadart forum?
Get ahold of Pinkjello on there, she has a lot of darts for sale.
She is located in Surrey.
She'll be selling frogs at the Abbotsford expo next weekend.

Ive met her in person at the last expo and she has some very decent prices, Im not sure if she carries Azureus though. She's pretty much my neighbour!

I've been to her place once when I got some Varadero's from her. She's got a lot of frogs.
She may not have any azuerus right now, but, I was just talking to friend who says he has some of his on hold for her.
