    As they get older the theory depends on how well they are fed as very underweight ones also get the spine bone showing more.
    But I have found it to be a good way, I have been doing some tests with the importer who I got mine from.

    I'm not doubting you at all. It would just take more than a few frogs to sex at a young age accurately to prove your theory. There's always a 50% chance you will be right, so it would take numbers.

    This is correct. You would need several hundred or even thousands in order to prove that the tail bone theory is a solid method for sexing them, but if it were a viable method I'm sure that those who study these frogs on a day to day basis would have already know n and hence forth published the information. I have never seen any articles or studies that mention the tail bone as a method for sexing.

    I still don't see it as a viable method at this point.
