Do Dwarf african bullfrogs have orange on them ?

[googie]

Buck:
I was referring to P. edulis, actually I do have a book on South African frogs, a patient of mine was traveling there and sent it to my son and I. You are exactly right, they refer to them as the African bullfrog (edulis) and the Giant Bullfrog (adspersus).

Still very confusing however, since their pics of the African Bullfrog, look different than those of other P. edulis I have seen.

Thanks for the reply

I actually wish that I had some personal photos to compare an African Bullfrog (p. edulis) to the Giant Bullfrog (p. adspersus) but I have never found African Bullfrogs before because I have not headed to the part of South Africa where they occur.

I do however have a very recent pic of a Giant Bullfrog (p. adspersus) where you can actually see the orange which answers your first question, they do have orange. Also if you look at the article on Bullfrog caresheet on this forum you'll see a big boy that also has that colouring.

That pic distorted horribly!!!! And can't get it right. But you get the idea.

I was up until 3 in the morning trying to find proper information on the two species. Wow, what a mess! What little information I did find of edulis barely spelled it right and offered little in the way of comparison or anything. There were several website of people claiming edulis by calling it a Dwarf, but their pictures were clearly adspersus. I'm rather disappointed in the lack of proper information. As I am confident all three of mine are adspersus, I may have to see if I can track down a true edulis and make my own observations. Very exciting!

Darryn: I love that picture, distorted or not. Beautiful frog!
