New guy here w/ Patty the Pyxie Frog!

Male: 4.5-10 inches

Female: 3.5-5.5 inches

Enough said?

Haha no, kidding aside. While most frog species the female is bigger than the male. The African Bullfrog male grows a lot bigger than the female. They play the dominant role of protecting the tadpoles in ponds, keeping away predators with their territorial intimidation, and combat during mating against other males. While the males are ****ing **** up, the females god knows what they're doing. For this reason, males are a lot more valuable than females due to their size growth and behavior.

There's actually a great educational video on the African Bullfrog:




People say it's a male because of the broad head and pointy like projection from the start of his jaw to the snout. Also the growth pattern, or if you hear your frog croaking it's 100% male. Some people say you can tell by the pupils, the throat, and the eardrum. The pupils being more thinned out than the females, eardrum size bigger than the eye, throat I have no clue. People don't go by the coloration for the reason being females have been seen to have just as much or more coloration than the males.

I see. I was looking at that, and was wondering about the coloration. I see a lot of pictures that could look either, so I found that to be a bad way to sex. I guess I just need to see more of each sex, because they still look so similar. Obviously when they are fully grown its easy, but when still growing it seems kind of tough.

Welcome on board.

It does have a nice head but not enough to make me think the seller made in mistake in sexing it.

thanks

I would like to see some more pictures with different poses. The males also have these muscle bumps behind there head ,on their neck. Some males are late bloomers showing there male features. Oh, with the video,the wrestling seen happened in my yard today as my frogs were taking some sun. lol The male wouldn't do that to a female. I'm talking about the tossing,and the pushing.

Oh only the males have the muscle bumps or head glands? If that's true then my juvenile pixie is a male because he already has good size bumps on his head for his size. I would of liked to see that toss up though, sounds good.

If you see my little brooser he has them too. He was the only one that had them. So i went that way too this time. lol

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!
