Frog I.D Needed

Found this fella this morning in a pot plant inside a hothouse. Any ideas on what species it is anyone? Pics taken with a phone, so mind the quality...

If this was in Pretoria I would hazard a guess at Tomopterna cryptosis (although it seems a bit big for that).

It was found in the North of Pretoria. Roughly 5cm (although I didn't measure it) and can inflate to become quite round. It's the coolest little frog, haven't seen this species here before, probably due to its burrowing habits.

I'd also go for Tremolo sand frog (T.cryptotis)

Yep, after some more research I agree. They are real cute little buggers!
