It's amazing how Vancouver pet stores can sell reptiles and amphibians to customers who they know are from Oregon (Getting tax exempted). Hopefully everyone stays conscious of why they are illegal in Oregon.
Did anyone ever go on the herping trip?
P.S. If you find a bullfrog GRAB IT! Dispose of it properly. The detriment caused by bullfrogs to our native amphibian population is horrendous.
