where oh where can i buy me a true giant.

[noob]

ok well i just found out that i have a edulis and i want to get me a adspersus. i went to kingsnake.com and didnt find anything but ive been to a lot of places on the internet to see where i can pick one up. but i have no idea which place to order from and im always reading about people getting a edulis. i havent went to any local petstores because i dont want them messing up and buying the wrong frog and i try to tell them they got the wrong frog, a mess i dont want to get in to. sooooo any ideas where to go?

They're very good, however I would choose Jelas Phat Phibs website since they are located closer to SC and LLLReptile is located in Southern California. Fauna Classifieds or Kingsnake are a little more dodgy; however, mikesfrogs is a trusted seller and isn't going to misinform you about the breed of frog.

Ill give you a giant if you come to China and welcome!

Jela's is awesome! I have bought a bunch of frogs from them in the past year.

I got mine from Petsmart also Ben Segil has a lot ATM one just went for 12bucks on his Facebook auction

I would also recommend Jela's Phat Phibs. Not sure if they have any in stock, ATM, but my two Pyxies I got from them.

yea i looked at jela's phat phibs but the site said they was out. also i went to thefrogranch but i dont want to spend 500$ lol and ive been looking at ben segil and i say some but i didnt see any giants for sell. im going to ask around in the local petstores and see if they can get me one.

[Deac77]

Yeah. Jimifrog can definitely vouch Jela's, he bought like 50 pixies from them lol. He's like a premium buyer from them now.

Unfortunately, thefrogranch is only wholesale. That's the biggest supplier of pixies though in the US and one of the only breeders in the US. Be careful going to local petstores such as Petsmart or Petco as most of their employees know hardly anything about amphibians.

The only other comment I can make on boosting your comment being confident enough to buy a p. Adspersus is take a look at these 2 pictures.

Giant (p. Adspersus) also commonly referred to as Pyxie/Pixie frog:


Dwarf (p. Edulis) also commonly referred to as Tanzanian Dwarf Bullfrog/Tanzanian Bullfrog:


Notice how the giant has three green lines down its back and the dwarf has one tan line going down its back with lots of yellow underneath.

Hey I'm a Petsmart employee :-P

[Sublime]

Haha whoops. You got me; well you know what I mean about the majority of employees of a chain petstore that doesn't specialize in amphibians or reptiles. There's always a select few though that you may happen to come across that know what they're talking about and one of them is you .

[Deac77]

Haha I know trust me I know what your talking about they are BAD cept at my store bc I've taught them and have raised/bred a lot if herps all my life if you do go to Petsmart you can have them order you a true giant BUT make sure that you have them check the scientific name on the actual order form before ordering it bc the supplier does carry dwarfs as well I ordered mine and both genus were in the form when I did it do make sure they double check
