NEW African Bullfrog

[allstarpsych]

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...

OH, I got my first Dwarf from The Reptile Depot online, they claimed it was a giant. I got my second one from General Exotics online, once again they claimed it was a giant, it was not. In fact the first two looked exactaly alike, thats why when I got this onen from Big Apple Herp online, and it looked so different from the previous two, I thought for sure I had what I wanted...But yet agian failure.

There are a bunch of vendors right now (including the ones you list) selling so-called Giants on kingsnake right now, but all the photos that I've seen are not giants I'm afraid.

Hi,

I was just looking at the picture you posted here on the giant pixie frog because I am looking to get a fourth Pixie. I currently have 3 of these in my home right now.

As much as John is sure that it is a dwarf I am 100% sure that what you have pictured is a true Giant Pixie Frog.

I live in NY and have actually purchased 3 reptiles from Big Apple Pet Supply and have had nothing but phenomenal experiences with them.

I think it is unfair of you to publicly bash them but even worse to bash them when you are 100% incorrect.

Have you raised these 3 frogs to adult hood?

I only ask because I purchased an african bullfrog from Big Apple Pet Supply about 2 months ago and he looks VERY similar to the Original Poster's frog(but mine seems to be a little bigger now and had a very prominate stripe down its back which has now been fading away). I asked (as many others im sure did) if it was male and the guy I talked to said it more than likely was. I do not see any orange under my frogs armpit but he is very yellow all over his belly just like in those pictures.

Did yours looks like this and grow to the size of an average AB?

I guessing yours could be a undescribed species or a giant that just haven't fully develope. It doesn't look like the typical dwarf pyxies I have seen. About 2-3 yrs ago a online seller imported some giant pyxies that looked similar to yours.


Here's link to thread I just made with pictures of dwarf pyxies.

I am in the same boat allstar. I tried to purchase a P. Adspersus from LLL Reptile online for my sons birthday, and what we recieved it appears is a pure P. edulis (what we have been calling a dwarf) I tried e-mailing yet no reply, I am going to call them and see what they have to say. This appears all to common. If anybody out there has suggestions on what we can do I would appreciate it.

I can not return the frog, because honestly the family is now very attached to it.

Thanks Guys

There's not a heck of a lot you can do about it but it definitely is false advertising. You ordered one product and received a different product. When buying Pyxies, I generally do so at shows so I can see them in person.
