New guy here w/ Patty the Pyxie Frog!

[Jace]

I have two African Bullfrogs, and I wish I could say I successfully "guessed" the sex of both and nailed it. Unfortunately, I did guess, and then John took one look at my pictures and knew instantly that I was wrong! Ha! And you might think that because I have one male and one female, I would be able to be of more help on this posts, but alas, I am not. However, my female, while she does have a bit of yellow by her arms, her throat is a definite white. Between that (and I know it's not much, but hey, it's all I've got!! ) and the fact that John says it's male, I would definitely lean towards male. Either way, gorgeous frog and congratulations!

Can we see some pics of your pixies>

75 bucks for a pixie? Sheesh, I got an adult female for 30?
I've never seen a pixie go for more than 45, Lol.

Got some more pics to try and clear things up a little bit in terms of what sex this frog is. Hopefully these will be good enough :]

Thats funny because whenever I see adults for sale on kingsnake, or fauna they always go for like 200 bucks...females I don't know though. 30 sounds really cheap for an adult. I see babies go that much all the time, but not adults.

Thats a great deal can i have a dozen please.lol enough fun, now lets get serious. Your frog is 1000% male. Sorry for putting you thru this . Actually we just wanted some more pic from you.LOL Nice looking male all around. Enjoy him.

[Sublime]

There's never enough pictures here on frogforum. Those a great looking pictures by the way, makes me want to get another one!

[EpicFrogMan]

thats a female. I had one that looked exactly like that

[FrogsRMe]

I say it looks like a male, with a smaller head than normal.
But I have seen babies at pet stores go for 30 yes, and at expos for 35 or 40 for adults. I need to post some pics of my 2!

[Jace]

Okay, here are pictures of my guys. I did have three ABFs, however one died recently. If they loaded up right, the first pic is of Gherkin, my almost 10 year old male who died. The second is my male, Kadesh and the third is my female, Obi. They are 4 years old and 3 years old respectively.

Sorry to here that. He was a nice looking pixie. Your upcoming male is looking nice. Your female is a pretty girl.

[Sublime]

Sorry for your loss Jo-Anna. I'm sure he lived a real happy life under your care. The two others are healthy and great looking, it always makes me laugh when I see an adult female. Their head size to their body is just ridiculous.

[dsmalex97]

Damn! Everyone is still throwing me for a loop!

By looking at Joanna's pictures the one on the right totally looks like mine! So I'm thinking a female as well. I guess only time will tell!

Sorry for your loss Joanna! Those are some amazing looking frogs you got there! I would like one of each sex eventually, they both have funny looking bodies lol. And maybe someone will come up with a way to breed these guys naturally, and I can make some tadpoles!

[Eel Noob]

No doubt it's a female.

Here's a old picture of a young male that I used to have. It's about the same size as your female when I sold it.

I'm sorry guys but I say It's a male. Time will tell keep us posted so we can solve hour pixie mystery.lol

I might just move to your area with prices like that lol.

My big male was priced at $300 but luckily I know the previous owner and she gave me the hookup so I got him for a steal at $100. If you ever find baby pyxies at petco or petsmart they have them for $30 but specialty shop here has theirs for $50 which is still not bad considering the amount of pyxies you can choose from.

You guys are lucky. I never saw a pixie in any pet store ,chain or pro stores here in NYC. the three i had to order from Kingsnake do to addiction. lol. Which i don't regret it . There 're both males lol. The Fourth one i just got at the show for 20. thats right 20 bucks cause he thought it was a dwarf. lol I still think he's a male from the get go . Hes only 1 1/2 inch.lol

[Jace]

Thanks for the condolences everyone. Gherkin was a rescue, pretty skinny when I got him and blind in one eye. For the 2 1/2 years I had him, he was a great addition to the family and very personable. His loss was devestating, but thankfully I had Kadesh and Obi to focus on. Out of the two, Obi is the character, very aggressive at feeding and constantly on the move. Kadesh prefers to bury himself under his water dish and expects to be hand fed...he's more of a diva then my female!! I consider myself to be pretty lucky to have one of each. I actually stumbled across another Pyxie in my area a couple of months ago (young one) and I am kicking myself that I didn't buy it when I had the chance. I paid....$100 for Kadesh and $60 for Obi (keep in mind, this is Canadian money ).

[BG]

All due respect . My question is coming from a young AGBF keeper. Do you think Gherkin passed because he had a bad young hood and abused when he was young.

300!? Lol, I have never even seen a from go that much. I thought my blue vietnemese tree frog I got for 60 was a lot. Come to ohio I see a lot of adult females for 35.
