    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I ordered 6 Phrynomantis bifasciatus from Jason awhile back. Knowing that P. microps also come in on the same shipments I made sure to tell him I only wanted the bifasciatus. Not only do I get 3 of each species, 2 or the bifasciatus and 1 of the microps are extremely emaciated and die shortly after I get them.
He refuses to refund any of my money.

My name is Nathan Bussard, sorry about that

Yes they are Phrynomerus bifasciatus, the microps do not come in to often.

I just wanted to make sure these are the right species 1st.
Phrynomerus bifasciatus and not Phrynomerus microps correct. I know they both come in as bifasciatus.

Hi Jason,
Can you please refund the money instead of giving me credit since the frogs should have never been sent?
I could really use the money right now.
Thanks
Nathan

$63.00 credit. I GREATLY appologize for the condition of the animals shipped. Those animals should have never left here.

I didn't take photos of them after they died since you already said you were replacing them.
I have pictures before they died which should be enough.

Sorry I just got back last night. Send me pics of the dead ones. I will credit in full for all that have died and half credit on the microps unless you want to send them back and then i will issue full credit. I am sorry this happened it was a last minute decision to go out of town.

I would prefer to just get my money back. Even the one that has good weight is sick, and the vet isn't going to be cheap. I'd rather not get more i'll animals.

I am out of town dealing with a death in the family and will not be back until Wed or Thurs. When I get back I will get a fresh batch together myself and have them ready to ship to you. Once again I appologize for the bad shippment.

One died today. I got 3 of each. The bifasciatus have a black back with red stripes down the side, where the microps have a red back with a black line down the center. The rest of the bifasciatus look like they wont make it. The only vet I've found around here that can do is 2 hours away. And I'm going to have take off work to get them there.

Hey Nathan. Sorry, I have been gone for the weekend. I had my son pack the order. I am sorry that they got shipped wrong. How are the underweight ones doing? How many were microps and not bifasciatus? I will need to look and see what is still there. We will get this rectified. Please cancel the Paypal dispute as it is not neccessary. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Jason,
They made it through shipping with no problem.
However 3 of them are very under weight. Theres also half of them are microps not bifasciatus.
 
Seems like you've given him plenty of time! Have you notified him of this thread? For some reason lately the BOI has been bringing results and at least this will warn others about dealing with him! Good for you to bring it here now!
 
Nathan I would suggest you PM Webslave and have him add your last name to your side profile (so it shows up under your join date and number of posts)

or you go to your user CP and create a Signature for yourself that has your full name in it so that it automatically posts itself underneath each of your posts....it is a requirement in the BOI that your full name be attached to each one of your posts

Would be a shame to have your posts deleted due to not following the rules
