Treating for chytrid fungus

[Tzunu un]

Need to clarify that the Josh's Frogs and Genesis Exotics test kit DO NOT include shipping and testing fee....they are merely the gloves, swabs, mailing envelope, form, directions.

The total cost of Bd testing at Research Associates Lab using these kits would be kit + shipping + test fees.

As an estimate, this would be approximately $7 for kit + $6 for USPS Priority flat rate envelope shipping + $18 for Bd test only (no Rana testing)......so approximately around the $31 mark.

You can bring this down to the approximately $24 mark if you use your own supplies rather than the kit.

I was wondering were the $18 dollars came from. L.O.L I was thinking I was just on there and it said $6.99. I was wondering if I was going crazy or something.

The treatment for Chytrid is not all that hard on frogs (I had to give my crew treatment as a preventative) but there is always the possibility it could be, as with any medication. There's been some great info given here in this thread; definitely do your research on bD and don't ever let anyone make you think this is not something to be taken VERY seriously. You want to do everything you can to protect your frogs now and in the future.
