Is my Pyxie frog a dwarf or giant?

Paradon Mar 01, 2008 06:50 PM

Somebody on the other forum said my frog is the dwar Pyxie frog, Pyxiecephalus edulis, not the the giant form, Pyxiecephalus aspersus. Here is a photo:

What do you think? Is he the giant or the dwarf? I'm hoping it's the giant form.

i have two "giants" and yours looks much more like the dwarf pixie. they have duller colors and the smaller head. sorry

How big do the dwarf one get? I would guess bigger than a pac-man, but smaller than the giant Pixie, right?

i believe they grow to be about 4"- 5" in STV. so roughly the size of a large pacman, but not nearly the size an adult true pixie can reach if cared for properly.
