Sounds like edema. How warm are you keeping him and how old is he?

[JoeMichaelBolona]

[JoeMichaelBolona]

what do you think?

[JoeMichaelBolona]

I watched some vids of some big pyxies and it looks like the have the same thing lol it just looks funny

what do you think?

Does not look like edema, appears more solid. What day/night temps are there in enclosure? In edema the fluid would move like in waves and give to your touch.

Can you please post pic of frog from above showing hips and legs. It might just be a very fat frog like you stated .

[JoeMichaelBolona]

temps are 70 to 80 and sure ill post a pic

[JoeMichaelBolona]
