    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.

    I would guess female due to head structure.

    Only thing I would add is to feed smaller size prey.

    First of all,thanks a lot for your answers,really welcome.
    About leaves: I put them into the enclosure just two days ago because I wanted to recreate a setup that looked more similar to her wild and would fit better for her burrowing attitude and "sit and wait" behavior.
    After I put into her housing the fake plant you can see in the pic about 20 days ago,she immediately started to burrow really close to it and every time I moved the plant she would follow it as she really felt safe and hidden next to it,but I never saw her ingest any piece of leaf even if I feed her into the enclosure (and crickets too seem have fun with leaves).
    I also never saw her following a cricket into the water (I rather never saw her into the water!)and she never showed interested in pebbles into the water dish,but these could obviously be only circumstances...
    I agree with IvoryReptiles when he says that in the wild nobody's removing dangerous objects,but if there's a real risk for the frog,I'll remove leaves and rocks in a while.
