    Default Pyxicephalus?

    Hi Im daniel and im new here at the forum. I kept for years the both species of the african bullfrog. But now I have a strange species!
    Can anybody tell me what specie it is? The adult males are almost as big as the adspersus males but with the edulis color.
    See the pictures in my album

    I looked at your photos and he doesn't look strange to me - looks like a Pyxicephalus adspersus, just his mid stripe is taking a while to fade.

    I added new pic in my album, I don't think the are normal. See them with a real adspersus mail.
    They croak different as the adspersus more like the edulis.

    Cool! I could be. I never see any pics on the net of the P. Obbianus. I only see pictures of an P. adspersus specy from botswana. Its a bright yellow/ornage green with bleu and gray frog.

    This photo really does look like a Pyxicephalus adspersus with P. edulis colour:


    I think Will is taking the easy way out with this obbianus business - I think there are probably several species within the Pyxicephalus genus but no on has done any work to find out. From what we've seen over the years, it's at least safe to say there is more than one subspecies of Pyxicephalus adspersus.
