Is this a dwarf or giant ?

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?

I don't know the scientific name of the dwarf, the whole Pyxicephalus species is messed up.

Yes they both species have the same appearance as babies bust you can tell them appart. They 2 outside green stripes of the young edulis are not as long as the adspersus. They stripes reached not the eyes. But a big differens of the edulis and adspersus is that the adspersus (babie and adults) have a sort of eyebrow above the eyes. The edulis don't have them.

Edulis babies are getting more brouwnish/grey when get bigger but the adspersus babies becomes more and more green when they get bigger.

I put some pics of a edulis babie growing in 3 months

I didn't say anything about youre frogs. Its about the frog in this thread. I have 4 adult adspersus, 2 adults P. edulis from Mozambique and 4 True P. edulis so Im reaaly can tell them appart....

...there are 3 species in Pyxicephalidae family:
1. P. obbianus ( Calabresi's bullfrog) , they are from Somalia, similar to giants, but have a very large tympanum, that is bigger then eye and lies very close to it. I've never heard of them being on a pet trade.
2. P. adspersus ( giant AB)
3. P. Edulis ( dwarf AB)

Hello Daniel! How can the Pyxicephalus genus be "all messed up" when it only has 3 species of known frogs? When an organism has geographical variations that do not warrant separation as a different species, it's correct to name them both by their scientific name. You can add the location to it (i.e. P. edulis from Mozanbique) if you prefer. Until the time the Mozambique type is given it's own name; they are both "True" because that is their scientific name. Have a nice day !
