Hi John, Yes, the laws are strict. I have only what can be bought from a pet shop. Our Nz Native frogs are scarce and have not come across them. We also have the Chytrid fungus that is killing frogs off as well. It is so sad. There is a guy from Otago University who has apparently found a cure, But it only can be used on captive frogs.
There are some awsome frogs out there that I would love to have but well I think its probably for the best that I am limited.
