Advise on questions to ask someone I might get frogs from

[JYKFrog]

OK guys, I want your input. I put an feeler out there on craigslist (scary sometimes, I know) to find a Whites frog or two. I thought it might be better to find someone who needs to re-home instead of getting a baby (although I kind of want a baby). Anyway, someone contacted me but their first question was what's my price range (really?). I responded, "it depends". They would also consider trading for other reps, which I find a little odd if you are re-homing. He says they are about 2 months and that there are 2 males and 2 females but is not sure about morphs. So you aren't sure about morphs but are able to sex them at 2 mos? I'm a little suspicious. What do you guys think?

Could it be that he might have had them for two months, and that wasn't their age? It does seem a little suspicious. I would ask him detailed questions about care, who he got them from, and also pics of the frogs and the enclosures. More info is better when buying through Craigslist.

Are these even Whites?

Nevermind, these weren't even whites! They are Green Tree Frogs! oh my goodness!

In Australia, White's/ Dumpies are called "Green Tree Frogs". In America there's a different species called Green tree frogs. I guess you've definitely identified these as American Green Tree Frogs though? Picture search and identification is definitely the way to go.

Here's the picture (if I did this right).

Lots of people on Craig's list don't know what there talking about! I would better suggest getting them from someone you know! XD good luck!

Those look like American green tree frogs to me.

Yeah those are not whites and the guy is an idiot. He is just trying to make a fast buck and pawn off what he has on anyone he thinks he can fool. Sadly you run into this type in every place you can try and buy anything. Like the guy who sold a picture of a cell phone for several hundred dollars when the e-bay listing was for an actual phone.
