A different "type" of pixie???

[onedge30]

Roman, looking closely at your frog, Waaq Padda. I believe it is a male P. edulis. Why? Coloration- looking at the belly, back, upper lip, Lip- more of an overlap of the upper lip, Eyes are larger and closer to typanum, and Size- he is full grown(but large for his species.

Malachi, on your P. adspersus pictured, how much orange is there around the shoulder. Looks like a female?

Jeff,
Right on, I dont disagree with you. I believe it to be true, really... Im not one of those who only wants a P.adspersus. I like Waaq as a pet. Hes active, seemingly friendly ( prob just hungry and sings beautifully. But, hes not a traditional P. edulis. I was just wanting to start a conversation about possibilities and hear other peoples stories...

Hi ABF Fans:

I really love this debate we are having. I am currently communicating with Dr. Charles Parry, who spent many years researching the genus Pyxicephalus. With your permission, Roman, I would like to email pictures of Waaq to him for his opinion. Maybe we can get some good advice on identifying specific species.

Terry has had a project going with this since the summer.

The only clear frog is the P.A. from South Africa.

OK, I will send an email out tonight with some photos. I know this has taken a while, but I wanted to make sure all the facts are in before finalizing the guide.

All the great things in life take time. Even some of the famed 97 Bordeaux are undrinkable without the proper time to mellow into awesomeness. Thank you for taking the time to sift thru and, gather all the information needed for an endeavor this confusing and complicated. This work, your work, will be instrumental in how we understand our fat little buddies in the future.

100% juvenile male, I have a female you can see them in the album.

The edulis is also a male I've heard croaking.
