    It's still too young to tell, but of I had to guess now I would say male. That head looks pretty wide. But like I said, a bit too young to tell for sure.

    From the first picture I'm going with female. At 3.5" if it was male it should have a more well define head when viewed from above.

    Here's Bruce a few months back. Young males will have what I called a blocky triangular head.


    But who knows some males are late developers so do post a few more pix if you can.

    Honestly, difficult to sex it now. Too young according to me.
    Take a look at its throad color, and if it goes more and more to yellow, then it's a male for sure.

    That's not reliable way to sex these frogs. Some males will have no colors on their underside and than I have seen females with more colors than most males.

    Mine started croaking (sounds like loud burp) when it reached 4 in. so you might find out if male soon. If female is not bad because most turn out males and you could sell or trade it if desired.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Normally, yellow throads = male.

    I agree with Eel Noob. For a 3.5 inch pixie, it looks like it's heading to more of the blobby female look than a male.
