    I don't know of any true glass frogs being available. There IS an experimental breeding center in Costa Rica, which is working with Understory Enterprises, but I haven't heard of Understory obtaining any progeny so far. Tha majority of glass frogs come from regions which do not [or rarely] export commercially. Some "glass frogs" were available at a TARAS show years ago, listed as "captive bred". They might have been true glass frogs, but the captive bred part was a lie to get around the rules in place at the time [and not the only such on the date in question].

    Other "glass frogs" in the trade have been wild-caught mantellids (Pandanusicola pulcher, Boophis spp.) and true treefrogs (Hypsiboas punctatus).
    The trend is to post names and numbers of "pets" here. That seems...um...bulky.
    23+ species of salamander
    28+ families and subfamilies of reptile, amphibian, and arachnid.
    Only one has a name. The Beast.

    Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum is very likely not available in Canada.

    UE has Hyalinobatrachium valerioi, at $175 each, and half of that is donated to the CRARC!
