    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....

need help on shipping?

I don't ship frogs but have had them shipped to me via UPS. The amount of moisture depends on the species of frog. For firebelly toads, cane toads, african bullfrogs, Egyptian toads, green tree frogs, barking tree frogs, they used moist papertowel in the bottom of deli cups. The firebelly toads, Egyptians, barkers & green trees were packed two or three to a cup 'cuz they're small and won't eat each other. The others were packed in separate deli cups.
Pac mans were shipped in little styrofoam cups with damp potting soil. Waxy monkey tree frogs (large)were in snake bags with a lot of moist newspaper.
White's tree frogs can't take a lot of moisture and they were packed in deli cups with barely damp papertowel. Only once did they pack the White's too wet and some of them were DOA.

As for heat packs, too much heat will kill an amphibian quickly. So I wouldn't add any, especially at this time of the year. I don't know if you'll need cold packs either. You'll just have to play it by ear. If you do use heat and/or cold packs, place them well away from the frogs. The people who shipped to me taped the packs to the inner lid of the styrofoam packing container and put the animals in the bottom and put crumpled newspaper all around so nothing topples over.

Hope this helps you to pack your frogs. As for the actual shipping, maybe someone else can help you w/that.
