    I'm glad you found what you were looking for, and that you found out about Backwater Reptiles before it was too late. I've heard nothing but good about Michael Novy, and I'm virtually certain that they wouldn't ship unless they thought it was safe.

    As far as the pumilios, that was 16 or more years ago, and I don't recall any of the details, other than that the frogs were delivered to my door. Alot has changed since then, and I doubt that the dealer is even still around.

    I don't know where you're located, or what sort of temps you've been getting. I'm in Central New York, and we've had unremitting cold for several weeks. I've been waiting almost 3 weeks to get a shipment from NEherp, and don't know how much longer it will be, and that's just some plant cuttings and a fruit fly culture, and they do use heat packs. I wouldn't dare try to have an animal shipped in these kinds of conditions.

    Hope you can get your frogs soon.

    Yeah its winter here which is why i was asking if its ok to ship frogs in winter... Seems scary. I do think ill wait til its at least 40 degrees F. I wouldnt want a frog to die due to any sort of impatience. Ill gladly wait til its safe for the frogs sake. Though i do think i will go with michael novy. I think ill try calling him as it says on his website that he isnt always available for email.
