    Is she an Edulis?
    Is she relly a female?

    I should say "Yes", 85% confidence level.

    Do you have more pictures ?

    According to the very knowledgeable tgampper, your best bet is looking at the tympanum. If it's white-dotted, and the distance between the eye and tympanum is the same as the eye's diameter, it's an edulis. Otherwise, it's likely an adspersus.

    Nice looking frog, Ian! I suggest adding about 3 inches of organic soil under the moss. These frogs like to bury themselves. I also feed my terrestrial frogs in a separate container, that way I can keep track of how much food they eat and keeps their cage fairly clean. Each frog has a separate feeding container. I am going to say with confidence it is a P. edulis. I agree with Martin that the tympanum (ear drum) is a key feature. The tympanum of edulis is about the same distance from the eye as the eye's diameter In adspersus, the tympanum is much farther away from the eye. Also the edulis tympanum has a white spot in the center. I have a couple of juvenile P. edulis and really like them. I have heard their "release call" when I pick them up, it's quite a strange sound
