Pixie and Dwarf Pixie

[santoury]

Is there a surefire way to tell which you have, without worrying about eye length and all that?

After having my Arg horned frog for quite a while, I decided to get a second frog - A Pixie Frog -- Got him at PetCo for $25. He is about the diameter of a plum and his color is pretty much drab brown - No markings, and lacks that dorsal stripe seen on babies.
No pic yet - Anyone?

Thanks

ummm, I'm not an expert, but I think there's virtually no difference.

you'll just have to know from a trusted seller.

Pyxicephalus edulis is the dwarf variety, dark in colour pyxicephalus adspersus is the full size variety and very light in colour

from pics I have seen the dwarf variety are more brownish in colors
