Is this a dwarf or giant ?

[Cwcuz2112]

I got this little sucker yesterday at repticon on baton rouge la. Im really just curious if its a dwarf or a giant african Bullfrog . Little tiny thing makes me think its a dwarf . But I get confused on telling the difference in the babies .

[pyxieBob]

looks like a giant to me. its hard to tell from your picture. but what color are those dorsal stripes. ? a nice bright green ? and does he have blue under his back legs?

giant, take a lot of pics, in a few weeks it would hard to believe s/he was so small lol

[African bullfrogs]

Why is he so skinny?

[Lija]

Why is he so skinny?

because s/he is a very tiny baby, that will change real fast lol

[pyxieBob]

all of mine started that tiny , this frog is now huge

Thanks for setting me straight . I didn't think it was very skinny I just brought it home last night and its had a couple of dubia . When I feed my pac mans tonight ill get it started on worms .

it is giant!
but since you think differently i wonder why do you think it is edulis?

[pyxieBob]

im going to assume he thinks its not Adspersus because of the slight copper color. But its 100% giant

it is giant!
but since you think differently i wonder why do you think it is edulis?

[Daniel L]

Its not that Im wanted be right but its really an true P. edulis. (not the dwarfs that seen mostly in the pet trade). The real P. edulis babies also has 3 green stripes. They stripes get more white-yellow when he get older. But these types of p. edulis can reach a size of 6-7 inches when male.
I put some pics of edulis babies

[Lija]

are you saying that there are dwarfs, true giants and true edulis?

[African bullfrogs]

I'm officially confused...

[pyxieBob]

sorry dude i have 6 Adspersus and they are quite big and they are not Mosambichious. and they looked different from each other but all like your pics.the baby in question is Adspersus. and you not given one reason or point as to why it's NOT Adapersus. just reasons you think Edulis. and a true Edulis is NOT pyx. Mozambichious. you have better chance of being struck by lighting than just stumbling upon a Mozam. in a random pet store.

Danial posted a pic of my pixie is it a dwarf or giant i always thought giant?

[Lija]

Bobby, don't ruin all the fun )))) and by the way I'm convinced now all your giants are not giants lol including your big fat one a baby not in question he is giant so as Anna's one

Daniel, do dwarfs have scientific name, if they are not true edulis?

from what I understand you saying true giants and true edulis both have same appearance as a babies, did i get it right Daniel? and what we think are edulis are dwarfs, right?

???? Are you just indulging Lija? Lol
