New baby!

What are the tell-tell signs to differentiate a dwarf from a giant? This little guy was sold at the show as a giant with correct scientific name. He still looks similar to my dwarf, he has lighter coloration on his sides and an overall lighter appearance.

You definitely have a Giant (adspersus). I went to the Indianapolis show on Sunday (3rd) as well! I think I may have picked up the "huge" tomato frog? LOL. He was the only one I saw there. I didn't see any Pyxie frogs, so the guy you picked up must have been the only one? The person I got my Tomato Frog from also had some cute baby pacmans (albino & green). My boyfriend talked me out of getting the green one. I still think $25 was reasonable for a little pacman. He also kept me from bringing home all the frogs I basically wanted. LOL!

There's also a good poster online that I had found some time ago that REALLY helps tell the difference between the two species, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. I'll continue searching and if I find it I will definitely post it.

Yeah, I was so tempted to get that tomato frog is was beautiful and huge (also one hell of a deal for the price and size) but my eye was set on a pixie. I spoke with Mostly Reptiles prior to the show and they brought the pixie and pacmans on my behalf since no one brings frogs anymore. They held the pixie for me so I got lucky. I almost got the albino but after already owning two pacs they are quite boring compared to pixies.

I'd love to see that tomato all puffed up get some picture

The petsmart here sells pacs for $15 which is the main reason I didn't pick up one of his.

Thanks for your search for that poster!
Yeah I feel you if I had a job I would have bought everything too but my girlfriend would have killed me. I have an interview Monday so hopefully I will be able to afford my addiction soon.

Yup, that is who I talked to! They just had a card with an e-mail and no website or anything listed on it. Thanks for the FB link! I like to keep the previous owners up to date when I can so they know the critter is being well taken care of.

I posted some new pictures on my thread I started. He's semi-puffed up. I didn't want to stress him out too much. I got him for $5 less then the table price. You really don't see adults for sale that often and a Tomato Frog had been on my want list for a little while!

I don't go to the local PetSmart around here for a few reasons. If my boyfriend decides to do the "pet shop rounds" as I call them (We visit several pet stores in the area just to see what's there), then I will see what prices are on some of the Pacmans or wait "patiently" until the next reptile show. lol. I want to try to get one of each morph.

I'm still looking for that poster...

Working on his 29gallon tank. Just finished caulking the bowed 4inch high plexiglass aquatic section. So I hope its sealed since I've never done it before, though won't know for 24 hours

I'm thinking I might put my big dwarf in there for the time being and leave him in the 2.5gal for another month but the way I have the tank separated he will have ~12 gallons of burrow space so maybe just move him in when it's done. The underwater 3gallon filter came today so I'm going to do a test fill with water and have the filter going to make sure there are no leaks.
