I used slate and pvc to hold it up and silicone on the center and back. Also smoothed the sharp area and siliconed it to prevent scratching the frogs[

OMGOSH!!!!!! ur frogs got some NICE head size to them!! i wish my male had a head like that

[GrifTheGreat]

Another update! So far he is holding at 6", but has once again decided he wants to eat me out of house and home. He is just over 3.5 months now and I believe has the potential to get even larger.

Had a problem with him becoming bloated after a mixed meal a few days ago and I promptly acted accordingly with treatment and tank cleansing. He is recovered and just as pugnatious as ever.

What's even better about these pics is that you can clearly see his Nuptial Pads on his thumbs. A rare sight for most keepers of adspersus.

Enjoy!

Heavy weight contender Lol!

He was eyeballing me all morning. Even yawned with his mouth completely opened twice. I never have my camera or phone when he does that. Getting some nice odontoids too.

I'm absolutely sure it's going to get larger!

Nice female Colleen/Jerrod!!! LOL j/k.

What have you guys gotten yourself into with this baby!! This is THE male Pyxicephalus adspersus, nuptials pads included. I love seeing this thread's pics since day one and how your baby has become a mini Hulk.

Yeah, there is definitely some contradicting posts early on about it's sex. It happens to the best of us though. It's a lot easier to tell in person than by pictures. I can't remember what thread it was on, or even how long ago it was, but someone brought up a good point. They said something to the extent of, "I can take pictures of my baby pyxie and post certain angles or certain pictures, and it does indeed appear to be a certain sex." I believe this is very true.

Very true! Some females appear to be male at the right angle.

Just thinking about having to carry something like that out of the tank once a month prior to the monthly cleaning makes me feel glad about paying for my health/medical insurance.

Once it get's bigger Grif will have to start wearing a back brace before he picks it up.

Lol!! Once a month? I handle him daily if he gets in his water which is almost everyday. I have to make him get out so I can change it and clean the water dish. He's really strong too. If he doesn't want to be held he can easily get out of anyone's hands. Even without biting.

I may have to. I've got a bad back Lol!

[NialR35]

I know!!!! I just gave it that dish 4 days ago!!!! Good thing I already purchased its perminant tank. Its a really nice Tetrafauna.

Attachment 52977

Even has the built in drain on in the bottom so I can make a perminant water feature.

Colleen/Jerrod,

How much did you get this tank for? I was planning on buying a 36x18x12 Exo terra but I don't have table space for the 36, so this 30 would be perfect.

I said the price in this thread. It was $90.00 which is a very good deal for a tank like this. It is a great size for a male unless he becomes larger than 7" SVL then I'll have to upgrade.

Lucky you ! What size TetraFauna enclosure you got him for $90.00? Those things are expensive locally and the 22G (they advertise as 29G) I got was $120.00 !

These are such beautiful frogs but because of their size, I could never own one! Ive never been afraid of frogs but if one of them lunged at me, id pee myself I think haha. Id love to get a pair of dwarf pixies though one day for now, im sticking with just my red eyes

They can be docile towards their caregiver, but caution must always be used when reaching into a hungry GABF's tank. I've never been bitten by him, but have been bitten by my Horned Frogs and the large adults pack quite a bite so getting chomped by this guy I really plan to avoid.

Its a 30" x 16" x 12" so about 22 gallons. Got it at my local Petsmart.

I've almost been bit, they get so enthusiastic when you are feeding. I use those baby sized zoomed tongs as well though. I probably deserve to get bit for using them.
