Sex this Pixie Please

[Eddy22]

Just bought this one but not to sure about the sex. Any help would be appreciated. It 4 inches long.

This is a female P. angusticeps in my opinion. The new genus updates are making it a little harder to correctly identify species, so hopefully some others will give their input.

It also needs to go on a diet,

It's not a P. Adspersus if you were/or were not aware already.

Its a male, but i believe the species is mozambiqus not angusticeps.

This is from the genus update from carlo's thread which lead me to believe P. angusticeps is what is refered to mozambiqus. Mozambiqus is just the local "Both P.angusticeps and P. edulis cohabit the Mozambique's Plains"

So you guys think it definitely "not" an Pyxicephalus adspersus? That's what I ordered.

[SCF]

It definitely is not.

[Lija]

and why do i wanna say that is typical edulis? female as that too.

wine anyone?

[SCF]

I'll take a glass.

that is absolutely NOT! not the first time (actually quite frequent) sellers mislabel pixies

guys at least we agree on that lol

Where did you get it from? Just so other buyers are aware of the company mislabeling species.

lol I'm pretty sure every single company lately are mislabeling pixies, stores around me now are labeling them as pyxies to be on a safe side lol perhaps scared of me to complain about something froggy again lmao

[SCF]

I was directing that to the op, I know for a fact LLL doesn't mislabel.

[Lija]

look at the bright side, that frog is absolutely stunning!

[GrifTheGreat]

I was under the impression that only the male had the yellow throat and SCF you are right Mozambiqus is the same as angusticeps, but is the OP up for opening that mouth to check the odontoids? Lol! Need to be checked because angusticeps have odontoids that are wider than they are tall.

Back Water Reptiles.

To be honest it's harder to sex, looking a picture #3 looks to be female, but picture #1 does look male, but it's a little fat in that picture. Eddy, can you get any more pictures? Do you want to check it's odontoids for us, hehe..just kidding I wouldn't advise that.

That would have been my first guess. Been seeing a lot of mislabled Dwarfs here from them.

[SCF]

Back Water Reptiles.

They are notorious for mislabeling.

[Lija]

lol backwater again

I don't believe they are distinguished apart by how fat they are. Many males of this kind have appeared on the forum and look exactly like this.
