I hear you Jeff but I'm with Kevin - that does come across as a threat and I think you should have held that back until you needed it, say after an initial negative response. However, best of luck to you in this.

If you want a true giant, I recommend you keep an eye on kingsnake for the time being - I am sure thefrogranch.com (the main US breeder of these frogs) has a crop coming along any time now and they'll start popping up. You might even be able to find a local supplier, such as a pet shop, so you can see the frog in person. With these frogs, either you can't find a single one or there are plenty available. Right now we are in a period of the former kind. I wouldn't buy an adult male if I were you - just buy a couple of youngsters (which should cost you no more than $30 each retail) and you'll know if you have a male within 3 months, and a male should pass 6 inches (15 cm) in 6 or 7 months. I like to buy a youngster now and then when I see one, and raise it up for kicks.
