Sex this Pixie Please

A good thread to look at Eddy.

Seems this thread title is mislabeled as well.

we gotta do a sticky with pics of all species, females and males
and i still think it is p. edulis, female ha

[SCF]

I believe you are right Grif, have you heard it croak yet Eddy?

Agree with the stick idea.

Edulis doesn't have the yellow like that unless it is from a different region or male.

Then no one would talk here... =*(

[Lija]

I'm totally confused then.

His frog is almost identical to "Dabrute's."

lol if even we can't agree on species and sex of a adult frog we sure have problems. luck of beer perhaps this time?

Look at the GABF care article. There is a great image by John of a true edulis and it is a young male.

Lucky beer??? I have to get some of that.

Actually In this brief conversation I believe we got it. Male, P. Angusticeps (depending on odontoids, which can be captured with a picture during shed or right after a larger prey item was fed) or Male P. Edulis.

Here some new ones. Whats the verdict?

gotta do some reading, i got it mixed up then.

[GrifTheGreat]

This old thread can shed some light on the situation as well.

or not
second pic is very much male P. edulis

[GrifTheGreat]

Don't worry. Everything ABF is confusing now and I pretty much do mean everything Lol!

[Lija]

agree, i suggest we do a summary to the best of our knowledge.
we are not arguing if that frog is giant, we all agree it is not, right?
so now we gotta decide what is that and why? is it edulis or angustiseps? and why? and perhaps we all need to do some digging, i know I need to do so for sure. and i need to get more coffee

[SCF]

Let's just get Philippe de vosjoli to weigh in on this and be done with it. I actually have asked him once before on species identification... He never got back to me.

[SCF]

I believe the only true indicator between it being P. Edulis and P. Angusticeps would be (like Grif brought up) width of the odontoids in comparison to height.

[Eddy22]

Should I try to open its mouth and take a photo?
