Difference between males and females.

these are four females and a male you can see the difference in the head shape,the male's is more broader,the male is the one on the top,so you see you can tell the sex of even a young pyxie.

Is there proof for this claim? Or did you simply get that pic off kingsnake and make an assumption? From what I've seen, it is not very easy to sex adolescent pyxies.

your joking right:(
No, I threw her into the can in the garage last night after I posted. She made a couple attempts at jumping out, but eventually accepted her fate. This morning, I tied up the garbage bag she was in and took her to the curb to be picked up. I'll probably get a new one tomorrow.

Borch is a lost cause. Her hash has been settled.
And no, there isnt much hope for her being a male, her head shape and size are irrefutably female. Males have a much faster growth rate, whereas borch has been around for a while.

Also, if we go based on that pic, just about every frog posted here looks like a female. I've never personally seen one with that much yellow and such a large head at that size.

It could simply be differences in age, coloration, and the angle of the picture. I doubt a whole batch would coincedentally be mostly female. Sexual dimorphism, atleast from what I've seen, becomes evident around 4+ inches, but even then its tentative at best.

How big are your frogs that are croaking? Do they sound like 2 or 3 consecutive low bellows? Does it happen occasionally and mostly at night?

Because if so, croaking is exclusively male.

yeah there always at night,MAN GOOMBA your lucky yours is without a doubt a male.
I hope, unless my ears have deceaved me or something, but he seems to be hardy and very male in appearance. I just hope he keeps growing and reaches a solid 9 inches. I've had him for about 7 months even now, and he's right around 6 inches, when i got him he was a hair under 2.5. So lets hope he keeps it up, I still get frustrated after seeing adult Pyxies haha, I yell at him and say "eat EAT fatty, be big and strong"
