Hmmmm........[I]Pyxicephalus adspersus[/I] anyone!!?

[GrifTheGreat]

Adult coloring starting to show on top of head and back !

He is also gaining a lot of spots and yellow just above the white of its belly. He is gaining some nice color there. The golden yellow has begun to appear in the armpits too.

[GrifTheGreat]

Reached 4.5" now.











He is quite the character. He hasn't called recently. Only has twice really and they were very short like he was practicing.

I've decided to name him Günther. Sounded like a good Pyxi name to me.

I'm guessing with these guys that it all depends on the indvidual frog more than age. There are several owners of large males who have never heard so much as a grunt out of them. Not really sure why that is. It would make for an interesting study though. Could even be so much as the difference between CB and WC.

Mine isn't two months yet.

It would be nice to know what sparks them to call because my Pacman Frogs call all the time Lol!

A few more updated pics. He is easily photographed.

I know!! Lmao!! He calls nearly every day now! Such a silly frog too.

[Lija]

lol right.... if your life depends on how big you're you would be silly too, is he still hunting down the water?

If you mean eating the water Lol! Then yes! He like to burrow a lot now and hided inside his littke hut. I have no idea how he squeezes himself inside it and burrows, but he does. He normally sits with his head out of it so he can see what I'm doing when I change his water or whatever else I may be doing in his home. The other day he made a tunnel burrow under his water dish and was completely underneath it. Went to chamge his water and there he was.

Like I said very silly Lol! He will also enter his burrows face first.

Gunther's looking good; that first pic is telling you; food... now !

[Lija]

enter the burrow face first lmao, hahahaha yeah one special frog you know something about water bowls and sitting under, mine was sitting constantly under it too was a bit scary to put the water bowl down, so i was taking her out and she was growing, very fun way to change water.

Yes it is! This is what he does every day Lol! Funny because if I wait he keeps scooting closer and closer like a dog begging.
