My first pyxie

This is definitely a beautiful frog, but it is definitely not a Pyxiecephalus Adspersus. It is most likely one of the variation of the dwarfs. But congrats on the gorgeous frog!

Thanks! I agree with you: some kind of dwarf

Yep, TJ got it. That is a dwarf pixie. Some variation of Pyxicephalus edulis. So questions about size and coloration, look at P. edulis. (or that is the closest we can call it right now)

Should grow into a beautiful adult.

Thanks. I actually prefer P. edulis over adspersus.

I paid about $60 Canadian for my first male, around $50 for my female and my other male I got for free as someone was giving him away and he is already between 7-8 years old. I would love to find one like what you just bought...not that I need anymore frogs!!

Then it's true... we have good prices in Portugal for at least one animal

There's always enough room for one more frog... and another, and another

I like the look of the P. Edulis, but size is the biggest factor for me

I got to agree with you on that point, adspersus are impressive

Nice frog, Diogo! I like P. edulis over adspersus

We are having the "great debate" over at the Pyxicephalis Differences thread on telling the difference between the species in the genus Pyxicephalus. For those of you who want to know, we come up with four characteristics that P. edulis has that is distinctive from adspersus:

1. the white spot in the tympanum
2. the distance between eye and tympanum is about the same as the diameter of the eye
3. vertical bars on upper jaw
4. an "interorbital" or "interocular" bar that goes across the top of the head connecting the two eyes
