    Default Another gender question

    I have an giant pyxie that I got as a froglet back in Juy. I assume it was a male because he'd croak a few times at night, during the summer (he hasn't croaked since). But, I'm not sure if he's really a he. I've seen a lot of pix of males, and my frog's head doesn't seem to be large enough. But he does have nice "male" color and no dorsal stripe. So, male or female?

    If it calls(croaks) then its male. Some females in other species of frog make a sound to respond to the male's call, but they do t sound similar at all. I dont believe GABF are one of those species. The American Bullfrog females do such a responce sound.

    that's him in my first post, I have a few pix of him in my profile album, but I don't think any of them show his head to body size. I'll try to take a picture of that this weekend.

    Adult ABFs lack a dorsal stripe. Males have a yellow or orange blotches at the base of their forelegs. I have no doubt that your frog is a male

    coloring is not an indicator really, yes males tend to have more orange/yellow, but there are a lot of males without coloring at all and very orange females. small and narrow head in comparison to a body is a sign of a female. please post more pics especially from top to be sure.
