    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 !​

    How do you recognize it ?
    Not reliable enough for me to use, especially when it comes to younger specimens. Like people use to say males will have the orange/red armpits but female have that as well.

    Guess I was just lucky that my first two pyxies turns out to be male and female. So got the chance to see how both sexes develop.

    Here they are.

    Really nice frogs.
    Except size difference, there is no way here to recognise male from female...

    Your female looks like a small male or the male a big female...

    They have the same age ?

    you can tell from the head size and the pudgy look of the female compared to the more fit looking male and the enormous head on him. But yeah when i first saw the pic it did look like two males, the female looks very nice and seems to be a more healthy one compared to some fat females i have seen

    Like I said earlier, colors are not a very reliable way to sex these frogs. Most accurate way for me is looking at their head, overall structure, and growth. Males are easily recognize by their large blocky head and overall larger size. And they will typical hit at least 6" within their first year while females stay around 4-5 1/2" their whole life.

    Yes these two are the same age. I bought both at the same time and originally thinking the female was a male because she had more colors.
