Fantasy frog pic ... and ...

It's a boy! LOL. I was cleaning tubs tonight and checked for nuptial pads. To my surprise this one has definite nuptial pads. So does my "oldest" and smallest fantasy frog (but that's no surprise as I suspected this for quite some time) -- this one being the subject for the videos I posted recently.

And I had long suspected my Caatinga is a male and suspected calling, but recently found nuptial pads on him. So 3 definite males so far out of my "group" of 10 (edit: out of my 10 pacman frogs). Suspect females are my green ornata and my apple hybrid (no nuptial pads).

Anyway, here's a pic of my male brown (orange?) fantasy I took tonight. He's just under 3 inches long.

I am aware of this -- just finding out whether my pacs are males or females is what I want to know, not for breeding, just for the knowledge

Is that really a red/orange fantasy? I heard that most red fantasies never reach adult size due to genetic problems. Don't know if it's true or not. A friend of mine bought a red baby fantasy a while back. It never grew and it developed all sorts of problems , eventually it had to be euthanized. He did everything right and since then, has a collection of fat happy pacmen. I have a green fantasy myself, and he's doing great. We just figured they were too good to be true.

Here's some pics for you of one of them, taken a few days ago. He is around 2.75" long right now.




-- I rehomed the other Caatinga about a month ago as part of some downsizing, so not sure if he changed in coloration since then and this is the last picture I have of him/her which was taken almost 2 months ago but he looked the same at the time of rehoming.
