    Default A different "type" of pixie???

    Ok... I want to show you my first frog Waaq Padda. Some say hes a Dwarf and others a Giant. Ive read all the posts about the differences between the two and I dont think hes either. His striping, eyes, ear holes in both distance/size, color..all of it, leave me to wonder if he is a "Webster" like you were saying about my little ones. Look at these pics and let me know what you think. Oh, and hes 7 inches from butt to nose. Hes an awesome frog with loads of personality so, I dont really care which he is, I just think its interesting. Ive read that people are now in agreement that there is more than just P.E and P.A, that different regions have different frogs of their own, which would make sense...
    If you need different angles, let me know, Im more than happy to provide them.

    Hi Roman:

    Looking at the pictures and your description, I am reasonably sure it is not a dwarf (P. edulis). The maximum snout-to-vent length of P. edulis ranges from 120 mm to 145 mm (4.7 to 5.7 inches), with the larger individuals from eastern Africa. Based on size, color, pattern and tympanum-eye distance, you have a form of P. adspersus. If its a male, you may be able to distinguish the species by its call - the giant's call is a bellowing "whoop" (cow-like), while the dwarf sounds like the bark of a small dog. It is a good-looking frog!

    I'd say he's a P. E. version of Webster

    Read the article about the differences in the species. Then look at it again. I think its both.
