Best places to get shipped frogs?

[LilyPad]

Apparently, it is illegal to sell frogs native to Wisconsin in Wisconsin. Which is probably why I got that free frog dropped on me rather than it being sold in the pet store it was ordered for.

In the next month or two, I'd really like to add a gray tree frog, I know that for sure. So I want to learn where I'll be able to get a gray tree frog from a reputable seller. Josh's frogs doesnt have any grays and that's the seller I've heard about the most.

TIA

You can check with Tony from TC Frogs or Aaron AAAFrogs. I ordered my Red Eyes from Tony and other material from Aaron, ( No frogs yet from them ), both are great to deal with. I have ordered all my darts from Josh and have been very happy.

Thank you Mike!

I'm sorry to say that I won't be of much help with the grays, all native Hylids are illegal to sell in Oregon. Any grays you do find for sale are going to be wild caught unless you are lucky enough to stumble upon the occasional hobbyist who bred them for fun. Is it legal for you to catch and keep them for personal use? If so you may as well skip the middlemen and simply collect them yourself, taking a few will not do any harm to local populations and you will probably end up with a healthier frog since it skips the stress of being collected and shipped several times between wholesalers, dealers and its final destination in your home.

Thank you for letting me know. I have no idea where/how to find tree frogs, I've literally only found 1 wild tree frog in my life and it was because it was stuck to my camper window! Around here we only seem to have black toads and bull frogs. Maybe I'll ask around and see if any of my friend's or kids' friends are good frog catchers.

Go outside at night and listen for their calls. You may also find them in developed areas hanging around artificial lights at night, they learn to stake them out for the insects that are attracted to the light. I'm not sure what it is like now, but I remember taking a trip to WI for a family reunion in the early 90s and the ground was covered in newly metamorphosed gray tree frogs and American toads, it was almost impossible to avoid stepping on them.

I just did a bit of quick research and it appears that you may legally collect and possess up to five gray tree frogs. http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/wildlife/.../HerpsRegs.pdf
