Stilgar was in a 20G and I was getting a 40B set-up when had to give him away due to health reasons. At almost 5 in. the 20G looked small and Stilgar could cross halfway in one leap. IMO if you want to do a nice 1/3 dry 2/3 water set-up for a 7 in. male GABF you need a 40B and a 75G is so much better .
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
So here it my new baby! He is so tiny, around 1 inch +! Looks healthy and very active in his new 10 gal. (Thanks for the Petco sale heads up Carlos!)
Tell me what you guys think! His hind legs are a little grey-ish/dark blue ish. What is that?
Another question that is a little off topic. My ornate pac is around 2 inches, is it okay to put him in the 18x18x12 exo terra or should a wait a bit more? It's just that the medium critter carrier is taking too much space and I have the exoterra empty. Will it be too big for him ? I mean the pyxie is in a 10gal and is half his size lol. Let me know.
Yea I think he might be hungry. I will feed him tonight though. He has been moving a lot, hopping here and there and stares at me lol. These guys should be able to eat nightcrawlers as well right?( pretty much the same diet of a pacman) because it's all I have at the moment and I hate crickets lately.
Wow nice frog! Congrats. As for moving your ornate. I would wait another half inch. Shouldnt be too much longer. Ide say another week or two max.
What's the normal size/age for sexing these guys? And feature differences to look for between males and females. Been doin a lot of research on these guys, and it seems there is a little confusion on the "sex my frog" threads.
2-4 months give or take out of the water.
Well from my understanding, it's not as easy to tell when they are so little. Sometimes a "female" can turn out to be a male and viceversa. It's better to wait a bit until the baby develops some and shows the different characteristics of each genre. You can only make educated guesses even though in some cases you can tell 99% what the genre is, however it's never 100% until you get a dino-frog with orange/yellow chests that sounds like a buffalo then it's a male; cut that by half, remove the orange coloring and add a yellow stripe down the back and it's a female.
At this point I'd love a male....but not a freaking monster truck looking male. Just a normal one... non-steroid looking healthy frog because I really don't want to have to buy a shamu tank for him.
Coloring is no indicator of sex, even as adults. The croaking part of your post is right on though.
lol shamu tank. haha
Is that the same for the other types too? Or just the giants.?
Ide either like a male dwarf or female giant. I think a male giant would eat me out of house and home. It would still be cool though. Gonna have to chip away at the wife for a very long time in order to get another frog.
Heh I wish. I'm lucky to have my Mojo. Unfortunately she has seen a full grown male at the zoo yesterday so i have no way to play it off. And she is no herp person. She did catch her first wild snake the other day (very proud of her!) She will come around. Ill keep working my magic and chip away. I'm guessing with in six months ill have me another frog. Just more time for research. Plz keep us posted on your new baby.
