    Flip him over and look at his throat. If the throat matches the belly, it's a girl. If the throat is another color, it's male. (I like to think of the dark throats as beards. :P)

    Typically, you can tell just by flipping him over. But, if you still can't, check out this site :

    Looks like a boy to me so far.

    You cannot sex these frogs by looking at their throats like the pacmans. Even with pacman frogs you don't see dark coloration under the chin area till frog is close to or at breeding size/age.

    Eel Noob, completely agree. Looks like a boy to me so far, but you cannot determine sex by throat.

    Looks more like a male than female with the coloring and size of head. Little too early to tell though because of the size...cool frog tho, keep up the feedings.

    That isn't always a dead on wit. Pacmans either. The only 2 dead give aways for a male Pacman is when they call (ofcourse) and nuptual pads on the thumbs that usually appear when the frog reaches sexual maturity. You already knew that though Pyxies usually is head to body ratio correct?

    yeah its hard to tell though because some males look more different than others. i thought mine was male at 2 inches but it wasnt until 3+ inches i knew. sometimes you can tell when they're at 2inches coz the heads are so big
