Question Travelling on a plane with amphibians

I hear people bring things like darts back from that haam germany show but how?
Can you take them in ur hand luggage or do they have to be checked in? What do u put them in?

I'm asking this because I'm moving abroad very soon i've contacted the travel agent i always use to get flights with and they said no animals are permitted on any of their flights so what can I do?

yeah you could preobably bring them back on a plane but you'd have to do all the usual import stuff. easiest way is to stick them in your car and drive back

Lol thanks for ur responses but dont think i can drive across the atlanic ocean
I'm moving to toronto canada, i checked the canadian government website on imports of pets and it basically says u can bring any amphibian or reptile without any licenses or checks etc. So getting in the country with them will be easy it's just getting there! It's too little frogs ffs what are they gonna do in my handluggage in a travel box? If it was a dog or something they make noise and could be a disturbance but 2 sleeping froggies?

as a last resort do u think i could actually smuggle them in my hand luggage? or would they detect them at security?

I think they usually go by coach and across on a ferry.

some places hand you out certain licenses to proove their ok sor travel abroad (I couldnt be sure of this) So I gess hamm will hand out these licenses if its a good breeder?

lol i thought maybe when it goes through the x-ray machine that it would show the frogs skeleton and then they would raid my luggage to see what it is lol
