God, I am so frustrated with this kind of response. It's one of the reasons I don't answer too many posts lately. Used to get the same kind of responses when I worked in the pet industry and suggested the customer should buy a book. I often got a "no thank you, don't need it."

I heard Kurt Schatzl, president of the NEHS, once say "If you can afford a vet, then you can't afford the animal." Kurt is a reptile guy, but this applies to all classes of animals.

I would also add, often when a frog or other wild animal (remember ALL frogs are wild animals) shows signs of illness its often too late to do anything about it. Prevention is the best kind of medicine. Well, besides laughter, but most frogs just don't get my jokes.

Oh and the reason you are seeing so many White's and red-eyes, is because that's what the big chain stores are pushing these days. Particularly White's.
