Dark green during the day?

Yeah I find when I shop for frogs that cheaper does not always mean better. If you don't have the money to buy a healthy frog in the first place, how are you gonna have the money to take care of it if it's sick? Right? Not talking about you specifically of course, just using an example. I always try to by frogs in the best condition, at least after I bought Bruce Campbell anyway. XD Breeder's are the best way to go, but honestly there is a sense of pride in rescuing an unfortunate frog from the clutches of an evil chain pet store. >D

I'm glad you're making the effort to get healthy frogs. It ends up better for everyone involved. ^ ^

It's hard to decide whether to rescue a frog (or any animal) from a pet store I find. Because yeah, it sucks for them there and you want to give them a better life. But then the pet store will just get another/more in...

That is very true...there's not way to stop it, but saving one frog/life is better than saving none at all, right?

Yeah pretty true... lol buy every single frog from every pet store and end up with a zillion!!!... I think it'd be great xD lol!

But we see that with rose haired tarantulas a lot. We got our first one from a pet store and didn't know anything about it. We looked it all up when we got home. She was in the worst conditions and very stressed out at the pet store. Then the store I got Orchid from, they also have rosies, not in very great conditions either with nothing to hide in. We can't just buy all them so they can get more.. rosies can live 30 years!!! lol!!!

Wow I didn't know that, you learn something new every day!

Tarantulas must be great pets if they can live almost as long as a human. I was never interested in them as pets, but I do support the people who keep them. Just another exotic pet that I'm sure you're trying to spread the word about just as we're trying to do with frogs!

Yep, spread the word about everything cute! lol

Well female rosies can live 20-30 years. All male tarantulas die about 6 months or so after they mature. Some species of male tarantulas only live maybe 5 years, females 10. But the rosies are such slow growers so they don't grow up so fast.
