Hi Daniel:

What were the distinguishing features that makes this P. adspersus? Not trying to argue, just want to figure out how to tell them apart.

Hi Daniel:

Young adspersus have 3 green stripes, some of the edulis Most have one green stripe in the middel but turn verry fast into yellow/white) has as wel 3 green tripes. But the outside green stripe at the young edulis are not reacht the eyes. At the adspersus the green stripe reaches till the eyes.
Also the P.adspersus is the only pyxicephalus specie that has a bumby line ( a sort of eyebrows) at the top of their eyes.

cheers Daniel

It's a giant 10000% i spoke to a seller and she told me 2 years ago she received 30 tanzanian frogs as giants and she lost money on that deal so one frog is not a big deal.

Thanks, Daniel! Your post and pictures really helped me. Last year, a group of Frog Forum members and South African herpetologists have been working on an African bullfrog identification guide. Unfortunately, it's not finished yet, since I lost contact with the folks in South Africa.

@ Daniel, Thanks a mil man. I waxs going to sell him back to the breeder at the next show, would have looked pretty foolish.
