    I currently have 2 young female X. laevis. One grey, one albino. I plan to add to the group this summer when I take the family on vacation. I want to grab a pair of reticulated and anything else different I can get a hold of.
    In the past I kept X. laevis and I kept/bread tons of ADF's over the years. My background is mainly fish of all types, but I have a lot of experienc with newts in the past.
    Great to be here. Seems hard to find a forum dedicated to these types of frogs with decent action in a forum format.

    Seems like you are bringing good things to the forum as well!

    Too bad you weren't in the USA - I planned on breeding at least three pairs this summer - my pair of reticulated x.laevis, my piebald male and one of my females, and my pair of x.borealis.

    I am not 100% sure of shipping internationally but I am pretty sure that it is illegal for live specimens. I am going to have to look into it a little more. There are a few people in CA that I would love to do business with lol.

    I will be driving down this summer. Not out your way,but state to state shipping is do-able. I am visiting family as well as hitting up some museums and such. Perhaps something can be worked out when the time comes. I am pretty sure the requirements for crossing the border are a little more laid back then shipping live animals. I have taken a few things across the border legally over the years.

    Maybe that will work out quite well and considering that you have experience with ACF already I would feel comfortable with you taking newly morphed froglets back with you - they would just need their own set up while they grow large enough to be housed with your current ACF.

    I hope to get them breeding in the first couple weeks of June, so by the end of July or early August I should hopefully have some froglets morphing.

    I plan to be in the states in early August. Had I not run into you here I was going to order a couple pairs of reticulateds from xenopus.com.
    Do you have any idea what it cost to ship? They give a range on that site, but from what I have read here you have some experience with it.

    It used to be $50 - due to their high ship rate it was lower than most shippers but my last order was close to $80 and they did not give the 1030 arrival time shkpping but saver next day which for residential areas means afternoon/evening delivery and my last frog arrived covered in ammonia burns from sitting in waste during the prolonged shipping.

    To be honest I am a little put off with xenopus for the time being due to that situation and lack of caring on their part when contacted with pictures of the frogs burns.

    I read thru that thread. I would be a bit upset too especially with it being such a hard to get color morph. Not a ton they could do, but some concern would have been nice and perhaps a look at the way they are doing things.The lighter skin frogs show ammonia burns well. Often the "natural" colored frogs get them too and it goes unnoticed. I really only considered them as the choices are quite limited. It will have been 4 years since I was home and 4 years since I have driven across the border.

    Aw i wish i was living in the states then i could be a part of this. Finding any morph apart from albino's is really really difficult here i the UK. Jenste tried helping me out with a guy who might have been able to help me but i never heard back from him.

    Im sure if you do get froglets from jenste they will be of superior quality, She knows her Xenopus!

    I hear you guys - - and Frogman I will try and get in touch with that guy for you tomorrow and will see if he can get me a direct number for you in Scotland. If you can, send me an email to ACFrogQueen@gmail.com and I will pass along the email to him so he can also have a way to contact you.

    I also order from Xenopus do the lack of available color morphs from other companies - Live Biologics, Xenopus 1 etc have only natural and albino morphs available.
