My hubby had a large male P adspersus that sadly died after expelling its bowles. I remember the frog for its size, but we hadn't been together that long when it died, so my experience was limited. Still, the specie made an impression, and when comming across them I always liked them.
I then saw a giant and a dwarf (edulis) side by side at an expo, and liked both.
When I found Tinkerbell in my local reptile shop, I was given a nice price, and took it home, thinking I had found a giant. The idea of naming a giant male pixie "Tinkerbell" formed in my mind, and that's why I named it that, thinking the name would be fitting either way.
I asked here at the forum, about the deformed mouth/jaw and the problems in eating, and was told that it looked like it was an edulis. I looked over a lot of images, and do agree, for now.
Reading here, I see a lot of comments on the dissapointments on having dwarves instead of giants. My hubby thought dwarves might be more expensive, but from what I read here I'm not sure.
With Tinkerbell having to be assited when feeding, I don't mind it being a dwarf, but most info seem to be about adspersus, so I would like to know if there is a differense in care between them, which one is more common as pets (in different regions around the globe), and if they can be differentiated at a very early stage, or if the both look the same as froglets.
Pictures and links are helpful. I know adults are easy to tell appart, but if I look for a young one, how do I know what I pick up?
Also, sexing in edulis, at what size?
