    Talking Looking for captive bred Chubby frogs!

    I've been wanting to buy a few Chubby frogs (also known as Asian Painted Bullfrogs)for a while, but it seems nearly impossible to find ones online that are captive bred! Also I live in Montana, so local reptile/amphibian breeders are tough to find. Maybe I'm just being unrealistic for specifically wanting captive bred?
    Anyway- if anyone out there have any they'd like to sell, feel free to contact me! Thanks!

    Sadly I've heard all in are wild caught but I'd imagine they'd be pretty hardy. You could purchase a group of wild caught frogs and breed them to give back, would take the guilt away

    Hi, the guy here at my local reptile shop just had some chubby frogs in there about a month ago, captive bred. I know he gets a lot of his stuff from the U.S so I will ask him next time im in there were he got them from and I will post it back here as soon as possible. Im running low on feeders so I will be in there sooner then later, probably by Friday at the latest.

    Bummer, I figured they were mostly wild caught. Guess I'm just a little concerned about the possibility of them carrying parasites. Who knows? Maybe I will start breeding chubbies, I have considered it haha

    Ah, its no trouble for me at all. Don't worry about it, I talk to him for about 15 to 20 minutes everytime I go there picking his brain and asking questions so one more question wont hurt.

    Haha, there's a few knowledgeable people at my local pet store- I tend to talk their ears off as well. For a rookie like me it is a total treat to learn from experienced herpers, I probably drive them crazy but I can't help it lol
