Any one here have exsperience with Vietnamese mossy frogs? I was at Saurian Enterprises looking at Costa Rican Green and Blacks and saw these and I LOVE THEM!!! I am about to begin a 29 Gallon VIV sorta like Landons (put the fish all in the big tank) it was going to be for a 4 pack of G&Bs but Im thinking of making it mostly water on the bottom with 2 or 3 small islands some epi...epi...wall mounting broms, and a few terestrial tropicals on the islands. and getting a 3 or 4 pack of these Saurian has them for $35 ea.

Any thoughts on this species? I understand they are only in the hobby 2 or 3 years now.

also any one here order from Saurian before? do they ship the frogs togeather or do you have to pay $30 somthing S&H for each one?

I don't have any personal experience with the Mossies, but know someone who has them. A lady in Chicago who Breeds Chameleons has had some for sale over the last few months. Her teenage son has been breeding the Mossies. I have talked with her about them a few times as my son is interested in getting some. She says their care is relatively simple. SHe has offered babies from a couple different breedings.

As for Patrick, I have known him for a few years. We have purchased frogs from him in the past and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality frogs. He has been breeding for a long time and knows his stuff. Buy with confidence from him. Good luck and let us know how things work out.

Take care,

I have heard nothing but good things from Saurian enterprises! I'm sure you will be satisfied.
Good luck with the mossy, I almost got one myself not to long ago, but tragedy struck, as it escaped from its former owner, never to be found again.

Yes, I have ordered from Surian. They have quality frogs. Most of my breeders have come from there. Good Place.

If I want tot order 3 or 4 frogs do they get shipped togeather or wouls I have to pay the shipping on each indevidual? If it is separate shipping this will realy affect when I can get frogs.

No, I am pretty sure that Patrick would ship all of your frogs together, unless for some reason some weren't ready, that is, old enough to be shipped yet. In that case, I personally would wait till all are ready to go and have them shipped at the same time.

Ya, I tend to run a little slow some times in the wee hours. I shot Patrick an email and that is prety much what he said.

Go to dendroboard.com and ask around. They have mossy frogs there as well as other amphibeans.

Be sure to give us pictures and the setup shot when you get them. Or if you really want to spoil us... post pictures of the setup process.

Please!
