I like! Thanks for sharing. I have a male also love it when he croaks.

Have fun with him.

OK I took pics..is it too soon to tell if it's a male or female?

I look forward to the day I have enough space. . .and time to get another frog. It'll be an ornate pacman for sure. So pretty they are.

The pads are not on the bottom of the feet. Despite them being called "pads" they are not located on the bottom of the foot. They are the dark spot on the side of each thumb. Located on the side facing the chest.

This is an example of a Nuptial Pad on my male Samurai Blue. His are quite large. People please stop flipping your frogs over looking for Nuptial Pads. They are on the top of the foot.

yep Grif is right, too much stress for a frog, he's just got home, you took pics, now some more pics. nuptial pads are on a side, visible from top and are dark, but these white big lumps on a bottom are more pronounced in males then females, and are an early indication of a male. Grif pls correct me if I'm wrong, cos I haven't seen this described, but I've seen this in person numerous times. Furthermore sick, weak, etc males might loose coloration of the pads ( I've seen this), these will still be there, less visible, but that big whitish lumb will still be there. In some frogs, I'll take waxies for example, the coloration appears only during breeding season.
so based on that I'm saying yours is most likely a boy, but wait a bit for actual pad to appear as well as he'll start calling ( or not

Buy a pair of feeding tongs and offer them to the frog in it's home by holding the food item with the tongs in front of the frog's face. You can also rub the food against the frog's mouth and it will normally strike.

Cool! I assume when it gets bigger, it will be easier to move around! Thanks

What do you mean? Are tong feeding and the frog just opens its mouth for you to place the food inside? Or do you mean force feeding?

It will open when I pick it up and brush the good across its mouth

this frog is not growing or eating..i have to hand feed it. it's front legs are too short to jump and catch food.. lol I think I want to just sell this and the full set up.

[Mentat]

Not growing in almost two months ? How long is it now from snout to vent (SVL) and how much it eats daily when you hand feed? Any new pics to share? Thank you!

I'll post pics later and its eats like 2-3 dubia when i feed it. its not skinny or anything..but i guess since i saw some huge ones at the expo over the weekend, i thought it should be bigger by now.
