First of all, our scientific is not incorrect. MANY books call them with the full scientific name of P. adspersus edulis. It is also commonly shortened to P. edulis. Either way, how is that not clear enough? Also - rude? Sorry - I don't see anything I said was in any way rude to you. More just trying to understand how you can possibly post that link, with that label, when we are absolutely 100% correct on this one. You shouldn't make those posts when you don't have the full information at hand If you google P. adspersus edulis, you will see it is commonly used as a synonym scientific for edulis. See Pyxicephalus edulis - Wikispecies for further details on this list of synonyms for scientific names.

That being said, our name, scientific and picture are quite clear, and the admins of this forum agree. If you want to discuss this further - feel free to PM me.

LLL Reptile:

I appreciate you getting on the forum and going over this. Yet, your pics have changed since I ordered in April. You had a Pic of what you are labeling an P. adspersus adspersus, not a P. adspersus edulis, nor did you at that time use the scientific names.

What I recieved was a Lowveld African Bullfrog, something which was not accurately depicted in your pics at the time. I am glad you are using the scientific names now, yet at the time of my order you were not. Also at the time of my order it was made absolutely clear what I wanted OVER THE PHONE, ABSOLUTELY CLEAR !

Perhaps our member Buck Rodgers who I believe is from South Africa can help out here. He referred me to a South African guide which clearly separates the two into Giant Bullfrog and African Bullfrog, and calling both NOT GIANT BULLFROGS
(Sorry made a mistake originally, forgot the not)

Please keep it civil folks.

Chris,

Just an FYI - the picture that was up previously back in April was also a Tanzanian Pixie Frog. New picture is up, as this group is a bit smaller than the one you got. It was NOT a picture of a South African. However, me saying that, and you saying it was doesn't get either of us anywhere, as it was two months ago. I am the one who does the website photos. I know what was posted back in April when you bought yours a few months back. It was also called a Tanzanian Pixie Frog on the website, and clearly on your invoice too! Your invoice literally says "Tanzanian Pixie Frog", and you got this frog a few months ago Chris. However, Kate is an extremely fair, and very nice person. If you want to work something out with her, that is between you guys. She is not giving you a free frog though as you requested. That just won't happen. You should call her and discuss it on the phone. Email is a bit impersonal. You can call toll free to 888-54-Reptile, as she is there today.

I don't think this forum is really for this conversation though. I just wanted to originally clarify that we never, in any way, mis-represent our animals, as insinuated in this thread... Anyone see the US Open yesterday? I was at Pebble in person for the final round. A plane flew overhead with a banner that read "Tiger - are you my daddy?". That was pretty funny. Kinda sad at the same time. Feel free to PM me or with anything else relating to this topic!

Scott thanks for taking time to post in here.

Scott:

Exactly Scott. It was labeled Tanzanian, You were not using the scientifc names at the time like I stated. Anybody that sees edulis, would not think they were getting an adspersus or P adspersus adspersus as you like to say.

Once again I am glad that things are more clear NOW, and people can an order knowing fully what they are paying for.

In regards to a free frog, at this point I don't really care. $85.00 dollars with shipping there abouts is not going to affect me in the least. It was the principle that matters. Things have changed on your website for the better, this is great, and our Lowveld will be well taken care of, and loved by a 7 year old who doesn't undestand or care about the politics of this situation.

Sincerely,
Dr. C Sparano

Hey Scott,
Who from your company came to Manchester last April? I bought all the bumble bee toads (Melanophryniscus stelzneri) and red-backed rubber frogs (Phrynomantis microps) you had. Eating machines they are. I was a bit surprised when I saw your business cards on your table. I was surpised that you guys came all that way.

Kurt,

The Manchester show is done by Brandon - our east coast rep. He does that show, White Plains, a few of the PA shows. He use to live out here and work in our store (one of our first employees actually!). He is now a firefighter in MA and does this for us also! Very good guy, and good overall knowledge as well. Glad those frogs are doing well for you! Thanks Kurt.

You're welcome. The New England Herpetological Society is having a show in October, if you guys are interested. Things are in the final planning stages and we have already had a few vendors sign on. For more infor see http://www.neherp.com and contact the webmaster there.

I did google it and the name is either P. adspersus or P. Edulis, plus the only place I can find a Tanzanian Pixie Frog is on LLLReptile.
