Best (but cheap) online place to get dart frogs, ect.

[whiteroses91]

As you know, I have been deciding on a tree frog/dart frog, since I joined the forum. It seems every day I decide on something else.
SO...I let my boyfriend decide. He says he wants the most bad @ss thing he can find. He wants it to look like it could kill him with one touch. He read about a frog that could kill a 150 pound person. I think he likes the idea of them looking like this but not being like this, because we both are less than 150 and we have critters who would die as well. (a little bit of a drama queen, this one is).

I am looking for a cheap, but good place to get frogs online. I don't really want to spend $40 each from (we want two, so it's not lonely) and then $50 on shipping. Almost $150 is too much, for me. I'm cheap.

He wants a:
Mantella baroni (painted mantella)
Mantella Expectata (Blue Leg Mantella)

Or (i think this is cool):
Dendrobates tinctorius
If anyone has any suggestions for bad @ss frogs, I would love to share them with him.


Free shipping with frogs between 40-50(found one like this, but didnt have any of the three we picked) or cheap priced frogs with normal shipping.

What about an African Bullfrog, or Pacman Frog? They are aggressive feeders, and Pacmans can be bright colored. Keep in mind that these species grow large.

$40 for a dart frog and $50 for shipping is cheap. Maybe you should think about tree frogs or fire bellies to get your feet wet, as it were. Where do you live? Maybe someone can find you a breeder you can drive to.

I've had tree frogs before. I have been looking around for local breeders, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Knowing your location would help. There are shows that might be happening your area. That will be the only way you will be able get what you want with out paying shipping (barring a store that carries more exotic frogs). Expect to pay around $30 each for Mantella baroni/madagascariensis and about $45 - $50 for M. expectata (thats if you can even find them).

Thanks. So maybe ask around and check online, to see if anyone knows of a frog/amphibian show?
