    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.

    That is a female I do believe!
    I see no Nuptual pads at all and from what I can see the throat looks smooth & white.
    I don't think the leaf litter is a problem as long as you make sure she doesn't have free range food in the enclosure where she could possibly ingest it. The pebbles shouldn't be a problem for now either......they seem large enough not to be mistaken as a food item. Just make sure to replace them with larger rocks as she grows.

    My opinions may not be popular, but really folks......who is in the wild removing rocks, leaves & moss for the frogs out there? Just use common sense and be vigilant and aware of your frogs behaviors & actions.

    Just mantioned as a precaution. I like your opinions. You say waht you want to say and leave it at that. Your almost always right too. I don't know why anyone argues with you about care methods.
