    Default Dwarf Pixie?

    I was just wondering if my smaller pixie is a dwarf? It is the size of a female pixie, but has a lot of yellow coloring on its sides and underside, but it looks like a pixie frog. Could this frog be a mix of true pixie and a dwarf pixie?

    Here are 2 pics, notice the large amount of yellow on the frog.
    But It is definitely not male because I've had it for 4 months and haven't seen any svl growth.

    Hmm, with some, it's quite easy to see the difference between the two. However, with yours, it does look like a small Giant Pyxie. It's about the same size as my female, and with the same colouring. Obi, however, has a definitely white throat, and not the yellow that yours is showing. Based on that, I would have to lean towards a P. edulis vote. John would be the best one to get an opnion from on this. As for it being a hybrid of some sort, I am not sure if such a species exists. Regardless, it is a beautiful frog.

    But see it doesn't have the patterns of P. Edulis, I PM'd John, he'll be able to tell me what I have.

    I don't know if this counts. Since I never owned a pixie. But from the pictures everyone post in here asking the same question. Your pixie looks like an ADULT dwarf pixie. Well in my eyes it does. Iam not really trained or anything. But thatd be what I think. Hopefully it helps. Yes john is the pixie man. He knows his true giants from dwarfs.

    Female Giant Pyxie is my opinion.

    I'm not obsessing, I am trying to find out what this frog is so I can sell it truthfully.

    It's a female Pyxicephalus adspersus.

    John, I wish I had your gift for this. Just when I think I have it figured out, I doubt my first impression and then get it wrong....sigh, one of these days...sooner rather than later I hope!
