    Default Sexing by skull shape?

    Ivory Reptiles said you could sex a baby by it's skull shape. I was looking at babies today, they had 2, they both had very different head shapes. One has a long and pointy snout, while the other had a shorter rounder, almost blunt snout. Which is which, incase I want a particular sex.

    Usually females are flat in most cases. Its not a 100% guarentee. Nuptial pads are the best way to sex them.

    Thanks, I just wanted to get an idea. I don't expect it to be 100%

    look for the nuptial pads and if it starts croaking it's a male.

    Yeah, it's just that if I want a female, then I know what head shape to look for in a baby.

    My frog looks exactly like the one on the right, the darker colored frog.

    If your frog is more like the one that is darker than dies that mean it is a male or female?

    I remembered saying I want mine to be a female. As I was transferring it to the feeding tank, I decided to take a peek at its paws today.

    Oh well... At least I get to hear him croak when I'm sleeping right?
