NEW African Bullfrog

[allstarpsych]

LOL, you are all very confused. I have had two Dwarf pixie frogs before, the color patterns and the head shape are a good indication, But this frog is lacking dwarf color patterns, So I can assure you all by that, and by the size of this frog ( although it doesn't look like 5 inches in the photos) is not a Dwarf. The place I got it from assured me that it was a male because the venders they buy from like to keep the females and use them to produce more. So once again, this is not a dwarf of any form, I am just not POSITIVE it's a male. Thanks for all the feed back everyone.

This frog is classified into the dwarf pixie frog category. The reason yours doesn't have the "dwarf" pattern is because it is older. The yellow coloring and the lack of orange in the armpits indicate this isn't an African Bullfrog.

Wow-honestly, I am so confused on this topic. I was told in another thread that there is no such thing as a "dwarf" Pyxie.

Well there isn't really one specific "dwarf" pixie frog, there are just sub species that are classified as "dwarf" pixies because they are closely related, but don't get quite as large as the AB. The one in this post actually looks to me like a cross between an AB and a "dwarf".

To be absolutely scientifically correct, the one you've got is a Lowveld African Bullfrog, Pyxicephalus edulis. It looks exactly like those found in Kruger National Park, South Africa. Others, like the one in the following photo, are not Pyxicephalus adspersus either, but we lump them into the "Dwarf" category because they don't get above 5 inches or so and the Taxonomy scientists haven't gotten around to the Pyxicephalus genus yet.

allstarpsych is your frog a WC? A few people have recently received WC pyxies that resembles both giant and dwarf species like yours.


Hard to tell but picture #3 look like a male to me.

How common are these frogs in the pet trade? I would love to try and track down one like in your photo, but it's hard to come across any type of Bullfrog in my area.

Wow I am now confused. Under closer inspection I have come to realize that this is probally not a real giant african bullfrog. But he/she is 5 inches, and If it does not grow at all from this point than I was definatly lied to for a third time from yet another online supplier.

Everyone, Sorry for freaking out before. I am honestly dissapointed...

[allstarpsych]

OMG you people don't listen do you...I have HAD Dwarf pixies before I KNOW what they look like and how big they get. This is NOT a dwarf. God...you know what just forget it....
