P.edulis has a nice pattern. they look like a small frog with a serious glandular problem

I just love that frog, I've had him for around 4 years now. He was originally sold to me (online) as P. adsperus with no pics. Of course when I unpacked him I realized that wasn't the case. You hear a lot of stories of people buying what they think is adsperus and ending up with edulis. I personally wouldn't trade my guy for anything.

I love frogs. I have kept many myself. The pictures are awesome. You all make me very jelouse. LOL

I have one comment. Never feed another cory cat to youre frogs again. I have seen many an animal, including frogs, choke on the spines of the cory cats. They can easily get lodged in the frog's throat and kill him.

hey Nate.. if you mean the one in your T pic thread then I am sure that one is a Ceratophrys cranwelli like my other Horned Frog. I like them best.. they have a nice natural look to them. but I had to have both lol.. I will probably buy another cranwell's like yours so I can have a green one too. And yes my Pyxie is growing nicely.. he is even starting to shjow some nice yellow coming in around the legs I love my Pyxie. its a crazy one though.

hey Arachnophilist I was wondering...Is that a pixie in the pic of the frog eating a mouse?? Well i think it is...lol..But i have a few questions...is that a male or female and how the heck do you tell?? I have heard about the yellow and stuff under the mouth and on the arms...Mine only has a little yellow under the arms..I think he is still pretty young though but i cant tell his age...he looks identical to the one in the pic just not as big...Is the gender more evident when they get older?? Also i havent gotten a straight answer of how much to feed him...He is in a ten gal lon tank right now, but it seems like it is a little small..But right now im pretty much just feeding him meal worms or crickets..I give him about 10 crickets.. is that right?? Also do they need any kind of lighting..Sorry to ask so many questions..lol..Im still new:? ...Thanks

 

[Arachnophilist]

first Welcome to AB! and as for lighting no you dont need it. and you can feed your frog some crickets a few days a week. calcium powder with each meal and vitamins once a week. I believe mine is a male. the yellow hasnt reached the throat so I dont believe it indicates male unless it does. . however apparetly you can also tell by the size of the eardrum. smaller than the eye is females and larger in males. I cant tell well enough to use that one. also mine was croaking when it was small and I had it in an aquatic setup. so there are lots of ways to tell but nothing very useful until they get bigger.. a large blockish head is apparently a male indicator as well.. and Im not sure if only the males get the large fanglike projections on the lower jaw. but that could be another indicator if it is

this is a new pic of Fred the tomato frog.. its getting some excess skin folds on it now

 

[Arachnophilist]

somupdates of my C.ornata and my new "girl" (I hope) C.cranwelli!

here is the new member of the family!

 

[Arachnophilist]

got a new tomato frog as well

This is the little new one.

and my original one.

I have noticed that not only is the second one much smaller. it also has a much duller color of red coming in on its legs.. could this be an indication of sex? also.. does anybody know how to differentiate the 3 species of Tomato frogs as babies? havent had any luck with that info so far. thanks for your time!

 

[Natemass]

awesome colors on the new C.cranwelli and tomato frog. good pics
