Id required please

I bought six of these guys from a seller in the UK. I had assumed they were going to be wild type X.laevis but they didn't look quite right, couldn't really put my finger on it but after chatting to the seller I found out that the adult males are 2.5" and the females 3" which puts them well below the size I would expect X.laevis to be. If somebody could id them for me that would be great so I can give them the optimum care. The difference in the frogs belly colouration is down to the substrate they were kept on and does change according to the seller.

Hi Ian,

They look like X.wittei, I used to have them when I was younger got them from Bristol University. They may be another species but wittei just look like minture X.laevis.

Kind regards
Jay
