Re: Proper Due Diligence for online frog purchases.
Another couple of things about buying online---
Be sure that they volunteer info such as the bloodline and give husbandry advice on that species, rather than merely quote you a price. That's how you can tell if you are getting them from a somewhat reputable breeder.
Also, don't be tempted to sell your frogs/juvies for much less than they're worth---especially from someone who just joined the forum 5 minutes ago! This undercuts everyone since these 'bargain hunters' may turn around and resell them for more once they're grown, and IMO that's not someone from whom I want to acquire frogs---it begs the question "How adequately were these frogs cared for?"
Finally, don't be too shy---ask why they're selling. A reputable frogger will usually volunteer most, if not all, of the above, without you asking.
If none of the above is volunteered, the seller/buyer just joined DB and is posting questions about price rather than frog info---beware...
