Fat little cuties

[emandkel]

These are supposedly captive bred babies, purchased from General Exotics. The one on the left/top is slightly smaller and does have the light vertical stripes from the eyes to the mouth and a bit different markings and darker/brighter; however, I don't see the lines on the other one. The eyes look more like the giant species.

You might be interested in some posts by Daniel L. He owns several of the hybrid subspecies called P. Mozambicus. Last year I got one myself from a website claiming it was an adspersus and Daniel helped me identify it. I posted some pics of her here: http://www.frogforum.net/african-bul...-p-edulis.html

Here are some links to Daniel L's frogs:

There seems to be a lot of confusion around the African bullfrogs in general. Between mislabeling in pet stores and websites, wild captures being imported from many different regions, and the many uncategorized subspecies of Pyxicephalus, it's hard to tell sometimes what you actually have.
