Hmmmm........[I]Pyxicephalus adspersus[/I] anyone!!?

[GrifTheGreat]

Thanks; however that angle from above does not show face profile well. It's hard to explain; but even in baby ABF like this one, you see a difference between the face profiles. If you wanted a male, think your chances are better than 50-50 .

I'll try again tomorrow. It seems to be pretty complacent after a meal so I should be able to get an actual profile pic. It doesn't matter to me whether it is male or female

[GrifTheGreat]

This was the best profile pic i could get today.

If that's not a female I don't know what is.

Its only about 2" SVL. A little young wouldn't you say?

[Herpguy]

Definitely very young but that is probably the most female looking head I've ever seen. Anything can happen but that looks extremely female. You can also tell by the way the eye sits on the head.

Ive read a lot about sexing them by the location of the Tympanum in relation to the eyes. It honestly doesn't matter to me whether it is male or female. I am only posting these for others enjoyment. I assume female as well, but we shall see.

[Herpguy]

I'll be interested to see how it turns out, because it looks so female.

I agree. It has a miniature adult female like head.

[GrifTheGreat]

It was just barely larger than the size of a quarter when I bought it saturday and it has grown 1" in about 5 days. So it has a good growth rate. It eats well over 20-0.5" Dubia nymphs in a single feeding.

OK let's compare that profile to this one, think they are around same age at time photo's were taken, give or take a few weeks. Do you ladies and gentlemen think they are the same or different sex ?

[pyxieBob]

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!

[GrifTheGreat]

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.


Last Saturday.


Tuesday of this week.


These are from today.

WOW JUST WOW! i know from exp that these frogs grow overnight lol one day youll have a 1 inch frog and by the end of the week youve got a 3 inch frog eating you out of house and home. what are you feeding HIM! and i cant wait for the update pics in the next few months who did you buy that sweet looking froggie from?

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 would not assume it's female (or male) at this point. It is still very early, and it's profile is obviously changing dramatically.

i really like the idea of feeding 3 differnt foods a week and offring (treats) every few feedings this hase seem to work for you. ive slowed down on useing pacman food as a full time diet im now useing crickits and night Crawler chunks every other day and feeding pacman food once aweek. it seems to be working so far

Yeah I only like the Pac Food as a treat. I just don't think its a perfect food source. Does work weel when you need to feeed fairly quick.

Same here. We will see in the next few months.

agree, but my gut feeling says male
