Karagga - Pyxicephalus adpspersus

[Mentat]

The baby pic you just posted does look like a P. adspersus. Wish some scientist would complete a genetic DNA review of the whole genus and find out how many of it's species are true and if they are hybridizing. My Pixie "Duncan" shows both P. adspersus and P. edulis traits and got it as a full grown 3 in. male. Don't care the species really; but wish differentiating among them was more cut and dry .

I see what you're saying. I'm not familiar with the history of studying these frogs, but if it is similar to what I've been seeing in the world of monitor lizards, things are only starting to come to light as far as understanding species and subspecies, proper care in captivity, etc.

I completely agree Carlos. It does not look like the "typical" adspersus, I was going to say something to the extent of it looks like yours, but I don't think many have seen yours. Good post.

that is a very pretty female and def not edulis.

Not too sure if its a female....I think judging from the first set of pics at this point it could go either way. ANGLES are always deceiving lol.

[Lija]

it looks female from all angles to me looks exactly like mine used to be before, now she is over 6" pretty lady. will do pic update some time soon

Female.

Does look similar to the Hybrid appearence of Carlos's 3" male.
