    TO GRIF: here's some recent pictures (my avatar as you can see). Never thought to get a picture of the underside. The second pic is the best I have of the throat at the mo.

    Can't see well enough, but if didn't know any better that all yellow throat makes me think you have a male Pyxicephalus mozambiqus, but I can't recall ever seeing baby pictures of one and if you bought this frog as an adult then we didn't.

    Looks good though.

    Never even heard of the species. Is this pic any better? It's from back when I first got her/it. If this still doesn't help I'll try for a throat shot the next time I take her out for feeding. Thanks.

    I originally bought her from an anonymous dealer on another forum called Arachnopets (formerly Arachnoboards), a predominately spider forum. Long forgot his/her name, though he/she/it did mention that he/she was keeping her in a cage with a larger frog of the same species, possibly a male specimen, and was peddling them as P. adspersus. . .or did he just say "Pixie frog?" No telling anymore.

    Anyway if this frog was in fact a male, wouldn't I have been hearing calls much more frequently?
