I just got a whites tree frog for $5..
Full sized, with legs thinner than pencils, his body is thinner than his head, and he has a hole in his face.


Was being kept in an aqurium with like 6'' of air space..Had to be underwater or cling to the side..
Theres 4 left in the store.
Anyone want to save them?
405 fish in socal
This isn't something they normally have.

i rescued the biggest, most-saveable looking one..
Im going to go back and try for all of them tomorrow.
Some you could even see the ribs on..
$5 is REALLY cheap for a whites too.

well the big guy just ate, and the hole going through ( Yes THROUGH it's on top of his upper lip, and you can see the inside of his mouth through it) his head LOOKS like its been healing, So Im betting he'll make it.

You may have saved that frog, but you supported the store that was keeping it that way. So you might have doomed several more to a similar fate.

They got them in accidentally.
And apparently don't know exactly what they are.
Whites go for WAY more than $5.
