The two vendors I saw with Red Eyes both told me the red eyes they had in were wild caught, Was it the stand in the middle, with frogs, geckos and tarantulas, or the guy with snakes, frogs, and geckos in the corner?

I also got to see (hush hush) A small Water Moccasin, though you didnt here it from me there was a venomous snake there.
This guy only deals in captive bred frogs, he breeds them himself. He had neither tarantulas nor was in the corner. He was directly opposite the entrance to the guy selling all the herp decor, tanks, crickets, etc... So yes, in the middle. I saw 3 people selling red eyes, so you may have missed him. He was right next to a guy selling custom built snake enclosures. If you talked to him, you couldn't miss him. Only guy there with an english accent.

I may have missed him, there were two people selling snake enclosures, one on the outside row, left from the main entrance, and one on the inside, left "block" from the main entrance, the guy on the outside row had the black cages, some racks, and was also selling ball Pythons, was it the stand to the right of him, i think when I was there that one was empty.

Re: Little One.

You walk inside, head to the right, and go to that space between the two blocks. He's on the left hand side when you are walking in between.

Ah, i did see that stand. There was a woman watching it at the time, but she told me she beleived the red eyes were all wild caught. There were quite a few there. She said they wouldn't be back next month, not until the month after though.
They were very good looking frogs, but also, there were like 4 tarantulas on the far right of there table.

Re: Little One.

odd, he told me when I got my frogs there were all captive bred and in fact on his business card it says "captive bred only" on it. So odd. Mine were pretty young, and he said he had a tank of about 100 babies waiting to be old enough to sell. I hope he didn't (a) lie to me or (b) lie on his business card. That would be ****ty advertising since I would NOT have bought those frogs had they been wild caught. Now I feel bad. That totally goes against my morals.

Re: Little One.

Well, I think chances are the woman watching the stand did not know for sure. If its all over his business card, and he tells everyone there captive bred, there probaly is a good chance there captive bred, granted he could be lying, but most breeders/importers dont tryin get away with that, especialy not on a $30 frog, its not worth the bad rep they coud get. its a business to them, and I dont think they would really take chances like that if its a business, especialy if thats one of his selling points.
