    Default Male or female?

    Hello everybody,this is my 1st post here.
    First be patient with my awful english...
    Here is my question:I bought a pyxie about a month ago when it was a 1,5' baby.
    Now is a 3.12' kid,and I like to ask you( for sure more experienced than me) if it's possible to tell if it's a male or a female even if it's early.
    Sorry for the bad pictures,hope they'll help you.
    Here I go:

    And thanks in advance to anyone will be helpful.

    I'm about 50% certain that's a male.

    Although it is early, I would guess a male based on pic #3.

    Thanks Jimifrog for your answer.Looking at pic#1 you can also (barely)see a soft yellow spot around the shoulders that appeared during last days;but,as I said before,I'm not a great expert in this kind of frog.
    Thank you again.

    No problem. Unfortunately, the colors around the shoulder area are not a true indicator of gender, at least, not in my experience. My female, Jeremimah, has the prettiest orange and yellow coloring around that area.

    I just got the one female last week. No babies yet. But I am hopeful.

    Hard to tell from pictures but leaning towards male on this one.

    Time will tell, but I would have to agree with jimifrog that last picture makes me sway towards male, but its hard to say. How is his attitude? is he extremely agressive, never not hungry ? Hard indications because thats typical for most ABF, if you had multiple to compare would be easier.

    Sadly this is my only African Bullfrog so I can't answer at best...but...there's an update!
    This afternoon,while I was feeding him,he jumped out of his water box and did a sort of attempt to croak!
    A low tone croak,barely udible...does it mean something ?

    hey pal, your frog is a female. the head is too narrow and small compare to the body. if you search for a pic of a mile and compare it side by side you will know what i mean.
    edit: best view to compare is from the top.

    Even though it's body is inflated in a defensive stance picture #3 shows the head pretty well.

    I haven't weighed Mr. Green yet. But his length is 8 inches svl and about 5 across. The store I bought him from told me he is about 3 years old.

    Another update:last night I heard two or three croaks...is that meaning he's a male?
    One last question (just not to open another 3d):does both male and female own odonthoids?
    Thanks a lot once again!

    If it's croaking, it's a boy.
