You have a female Dyscophus guineti. The dorsum of the females are a reddish-orange and males are yellowish. There are 3 species of tomato frog in Madagascar. D. guineti and D. antongilli could be conspecifics (same species with slight color variation). They occupy the east coast of the island, while D. insularis lives on the west coast.

thank you! i have never heard her croak. i thought maybe a female shes 130 grams and 1 1/2 years old. that pic makes her look darker then she is so i wondered if it was just a fast male

One of the problems with identification is that some species may have slight variations in color. In D. guineti males, the yellowish back color is separated from the gray belly color by a black dorsolateral stripe. Females have a dark stripe separating the reddish back color and the whitish belly. Obviously, only the frog knows for sure

Nice information, Terry!
