Hello everyone! I want to ask you about my new red eyed frog. As you can see at the picture (mine is from the left) my frog is skinny, small and it has a very hard skin....and I see the picture from the right (taken from the internet) and I see a big, fatty, colourful and a plastic-skin beautiful frog. Is this because mine is a male and the picture from the right is a female? Or is it because mine is a baby? Thank you for your help!
IMO the one on the right looks a little overweight, it could possibly be a female though. If yours is a baby, there would be a size difference. Males usually mature around 2 inches and females around 2.5 inches. Males will have nuptual pads and will have the baggy throat. If i didnt completely answer your question, check out the Red-eyed tree frog caresheet on FF > Frog Forum - Red-Eyed Leaf Frog/Red Eyed Tree Frog Care - Agalychnis callidryas

well i do not know, maybe is a little fat but also is big and look at the fingers and arms.... they are bigger than mine. maybe is there a different kind inside the Agalychnis callidryas genre?
The frog on the right is unusually fat for the species and her size difference is because she is female. Your frog looks healthy. Skin color will change depending on the light, and his size could be that he's still growing or that he is male. Unless he is spending a lot of time on the ground, I wouldn't worry. You will notice a change in behavior before appearance if he gets sick. That is my experience. Nice frog! =)
I have seen today a female in a shop and she is bigger and fatter hahahaha poor frog-girls. Thank you all!!
