Being sold as a giant?

[Lija]

agree with Daniel- male dwarf, sitting on awfully dry substrate

[GrifTheGreat]

Yep Male Dwarf as everyone has said. Looks go be in good health. Hoprfully thise are recent pics.

The seller is defending his stance that this is a true giant, as it was purchased from Frog Ranch.
I have sent him a link and invited him to join this discussion if he pleases.

lol it is not first time the people are selling something that is not labelled properly.

[DeeDub]

Who is selling it? Whats the website? What price?

Not sure if you were interested in buying it, but if there is any question as to the rep of the seller, check the FC BOI, then if doubt remains, move on. There are plenty of customer friendly, reputable sellers out there. Nice looking frog. If he's listing it as a Male Giant, 2 yrs old, the seller may be mistaken. Would like to know SVL.

DeeDub,

I sent you a PM.

DeeDub,

I sent you a PM.

Please keep this frog because these type of P. edulis are not seen often in the frogtrade. Its not P. Adspersus but these type of the p. edulis getting just as big as the p. adsperus. Some people called this big p. edulis specy P. Obbianus.

Looked at this video its the same specy you have and its big. The one I have is even bigger. See pic

Reptile Outpost - Giant African Bull Frog - YouTube

The seller in the video also don't know that its not a P. adspersus. People think its big so it must be an adspersus.

I thought he claimed adspersus? This would be a good one for FC BOI, DW.

[ejh805]

He did and does claim adspersus for the frog that started this thread, as that was what it was sold to him as.

[SCF]

He has already lied to you..

[SCF]

So is it adspersus or some "newly discovered species" from him?
