Hmm. I gave you the bad "rep". Because not to be rude, and anyone excuse me for my language. But you came off as a rude p****. No offense again. Just stating an opinion. If you want your opinions listened to. Don't be rude about it, and over all dont get frustrated. This is the internet, its not like we are knocking at your door, saying "BEN! BEN! YOUR REPTILES ARE NO GOOD! BEN!". I am assuming you are the guy from big apple herps? That is why you posted here? If you are well the reason the admined may have insulted your site. Because again this is IF you're from big apple herps:
-You sold a wrong species to many people.
I strongly doubt you seriously cant tell the difference between species. I mean no offense, but you are a reptile dealer for sakes! You SHOULD be able to know what frog is what, and their scientific name. Otherwise you wouldnt be selling them. Especially under another name. But the people in this thread are angry at big apple herps because its not just been ONE person that got ripped off. Its been 4-5 one this forum, and Iam sure there are more people that got ripped off. I mean the site put the frog up for like 130bucks. Thats a rip off to begin with. I wouldnt even buy a frog from an online dealer for a 130bucks. Ived seen those frogs by the dozen being sold anywhere else for like 30-40bucks at most. Even this really bad petstore knew the difference between the subspecies. Its not even hard to tell. I mean its not like they are going to be the same size, and color. Most frogs are the same color, and when they're not they either a completely different subspecies or a morph of that species. So again not to be rude. But anyone going online selling animals should DEFENITELY know and be a 100% correct what animal it is. Also, reputable breeders/sellers tend to bring their animals to a herp savvy vet. It only costs one per group. So youd pay only for one animal and the whole group gets a visit. Then you can raise the price a bit and make a profit. But had you even taken it to a vet, the vet could even clarify that it is indeed not a giant. Alot of people try to pass off the african dwarves as african giants. Rule of thumb, put the scientific name in there. Or atleast take the picture of the actual animal and dont write any information if you dont know. You could have put "african bullfrog" along with the picture and sold it for a cheaper price. Rather than a 130 or so. Just saying. I appologize if you don't feel welcomed here. But I took the inittiative to be blunt and honest. Because I dont want you to go and be all like "oh these people dont know squat, these people are all talk and no walk".
Kay, luck with your business, bye.
