Hello! Im new at frogs and picked up my first one today! Snakes has been my thing for a couple of years but ive been reading about this frogs and they look so cool! So i bought one today real happy that i found one!
Im hoping its a male, maybe its hard to see on the picture but didnt want to disturb it with handling the first day! Anyone can tell sex? He "flattened" out when the camera came hehe.
Best Regards // Stefan

hmmm it looks pretty female to me..
try to get a picture of it right after it poops
Looks like a female to me.
Side shot, what age can this one be?
Decent size female, maybe 4-6 months.
Some pyxies are harder to tell if they're male or female but most are pretty easy.
About quarter size. This is what I call the beaky look in males.
Same frog as above just a couple months later. What I call masculine/triangular head structure. Head is well balance with rest of body.

Hey I got your message that frog is female 100%
Thanks for the replys all! Real nice and helpful peoples here! I have like 3 answers on my bull-add with Males! So maybe i get my male soon hehe.
Waiting for pictures of them, maybe i should post here so you can tell me what you think. One is like a year old...getting pictures of that soon. Then its a total MONSTER at 2 years...but that one is extreme expensive...but what a frog biggest i seen. Thinking its more funny to get a little bit smaller and see how it grows. How long do the males grow??
Best regards // Stefan
Here is the frogs thats for sale in my country hehe, pretty big? Only 2 years old...
According to this key (http://www.frogforum.net/african-bul...fferences.html) it it should be an edulis. It has both white spots on the tympanum and the bars on the upper jaw. You have to measure the distance between the eye and tympanum to get that correct but it looks like it fits an edulis.
Pyxicephalus adspersus
- Upper jaw withour irregular vertical pale bars
- No white spot on tympanum (ear drum)
- No pale interorbital bar
- Distance from eye to tympanum is about twice the diameter of the eye
Pyxicephalus edulis
- Upper jaw with irregular pale bars
- White spot on tympanum
- Distance from eye to tympanum is about the same as the diameter of the eye
