    I would guess female.

    Also, I'm not sure about those leaves you have on the substrate. I'm not sure if eaten will harm your frog or not. Perhaps someone on here will know more about that?

    Female. Are those rocks in the water dish? I would remove them just incase your frog accidentally grabbed one while trying to catch its prey. Very nice looking girl you have there.

    EDIT) Even though its nice and has a very natural look. The leaf litter can be dangerouse if the frog eats any of it. They can't break down plant and vegetable material in their digstive system. Which is why moss causes impaction. If you're going to continue to feed your frog in its home it would be best to remove the leaf litter. Better safe than sorry.

    I'd say male. Looks like nuptial pads on the front foot, does it not?

    There is no spot on its thumb where they appear. The spot I see on the bottom pic is coming from the frogs belly behind the hand.

    How old is the frog? Nuptual pads don't appear on males until the reach sexual maturity which is anwhere from 8 months to a year. Males will usually call as well.
