And yes I know what species it is. The title isn't a question of species.

Yes. Just got him yesterday. Ate 2 Waxworms and 3 Night Crawler chunks that were half the frog's length.

Lija, lets start sexing it now...

[Lija]

my bet it is a male, and i Know I'm right! with 50% certainty lol

[SCF]

Ok, judging by the size of his tympanum, and head structure. It has already been acknowledged that coloring is no "dead giveaway," BUT due to the coloring I'm observing from these pictures, that's male coloring! 100% male, congrats Grif(s)!

edit: Just kidding, no one take this post seriously!

you can't compare them realistically. Not every female looks like every female and the same for male

This is also true of Pacman frogs. Some females you can tell as babies and others you can't tell until they are at least 3 to 4 months or longer. Depending on growth rate. I guess it's the waiting game!

These are just some updated growth pics. I've been using this water dish for size comparisons since it is almost always in the dish.


Last Tuesday.

I give it a varied diet each week. I offer mostly Night Crawler chunks and switch to Dubia nymphs in the middle of the week and end the week by offering Dubia nymphs, Night Crawlers chunks, and Waxworms in the same feeding. Pacman food and Waxworms are a treat.

I bought this Pyxi from a local pet store here. Not sure whether its WC or CB. I assume CB because of the Frog Ranch being a possible supplier.

I'm guessing with these guys that it all depends on the indvidual frog more than age. There are several owners of large males who have never heard so much as a grunt out of them. Not really sure why that is. It would make for an interesting study though. Could even be so much as the difference between CB and WC.

Mine isn't two months yet.

Stilgar croaked at around 4 in. SVL. Had been with me for 6 weeks and have no idea of age at the time of purchase.
