*UPDATE* This pair of frogs died within 2 weeks of purchasing, because the male was deathly thin and the female started passing blood. I got no refund or more frogs.

7/22/03- I got 0.0.10 Spiny Madagascar Hoppers (Scaphionpyrne pustulosa) today from http://www.xtremereptiles.com and they arrived in great condition after having live arrival guarantee as well as 5 day health guarantee after arrival. I am going to try to breed them.

 7/16/03- I got 0.0.3 'Green Banded' Kokoe Poison Dart Frogs (Phyllobates aurotaenia) from Rafael at Cyberaqua-net because he owed me frogs form when he shipped me monkey frogs and they froze.

5/4/03- I went to a pet store in Goddard, Kansas called Exotic pets. Nothing special and it mixed way too many species of frogs and other herps. I saved 0.0.2 Orange-Legged Monkey Frogs (Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis) from a large community tank. I hope they do well.

4/14/03- One of my Waxy Monkey Tree Frogs (Phyllomedusa sauvagei) that I got from reptile kingdom died today, because it had a bacterial infection. Its eyes had black crust over them. I tried to treat it with tetracycline, but no use.
