male or female bullfrog?

[African bullfrogs]

How old is that male?

[African bullfrogs]

are these nuptial pads? and it looks like there is yellow on his/her throat does this mean it could be possibly a male?

[bullfrog1986]

why male?

[African bullfrogs]

because thats what I was told

[bullfrog1986]

I dunno i'm not expert on these frogs just yet... I would try and compare but mine is too young i think your frog is maybe 4 months or something

she can't be possibly a male, just because she is a female. nuptial pads would be on the inside of the thumbs. It is common for females to have bright coloring. as you were advised get a refund if possible if that is a male you're after or just enjoy healthy, pretty frog.

My male in the first page is around five months old

Oh cool

Pyxis typically do not get nuptial pads unless they are in breeding condition. Meaning, they have Brumated, are calling and ready to breed after waking. your frog is female. If it was sold as a male you definitely got ripped off if you paid more than 60 dollars or so. Larger sub adult females such as yours will go from 40 to 60 dollars if you're lucky

lol Deedub is talking about US prices, in CAN you're lucky if you get a baby for 50$, usually in stores prices are around 60-70$ for a baby pixie.

Lol...sorry Lija. Hey, move to the states. We've got socialist Medicine now too!.....grain of salt....I've found its hard to joke using text. The tones just aren't there.

I just called the store where i got this pixie frog from and they said that it is actually a male. And they got him from a breeder and the breeder said that he was living with another male and that they have heard him croak and hes definitely a male pixie frog!

[Herpguy]

AB, no matter what they say, this is a female, I would bet my firstborn on that fact. Either they are lying or they just heard it make a noise that is not a croak; females can make noise. This store is obviously very untrustworthy. If they continue to refuse to accept they lied to you you should post a bad guy review on the faunaclassifieds board of inquiry.

[GrifTheGreat]

Everyone has told you correctly. This is indeed a female. They either know it was a female and labeled it incorrectly to make sure they could make a sale or know nothing at all about Pyxi Frogs. HerpGuy's suggestion should be followed if they continue to not make good on this sale.

[Bruce]

I agree with herp, I missed where you said it was labeled as a male... That is 100% not true at all.

[African bullfrogs]

I know its a female now so thanks guys but doesnt this look like mine? Because this ended up to be male. http://www.frogforum.net/african-bul...le-female.html

Not quite. Did you give that petshop a call?

[African bullfrogs]

Ya they said that its a male. And they got it from a different owner and they called the older owner and he said my frog was living with another male and they always croaked so im very confused

[SCF]

Sounds like they are giving you the run around. Just tell them it wasn't what they said they sold you and you want your money back or a true male.

[African bullfrogs]

Ya but i got it from an expo
