Looks great Garret

I just heard a deep bellowing MOOOO come from my office! I quickly looked in and heard a second MOOOO from Karagga's tank! I've never heard her make such a deep call. It sounds just like the recording somewhere on this forum. After the second call (which came about 3-5 seconds after the first, I peered in to find her in her water tub looking rather content

*edit* just heard two more, separated by several minutes the second being a long drawn out croak. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight

It turned out to be a he not a she then. Congrats

He, he, he, good to know my prediction as a male turned out right, because normally I'm proven wrong ! Please post present pics of Karagga from above and side when you have a chance. Thank you !

Whaaaat!? I thought I read somewhere that females have a call? The frog is not humongous, so perhaps it is like the frog Duncan if it is indeed a male. I'll get photos, weight, and measurements after breakfast.

Alright, I got several photos. Karagga was very cooperative I weighed the frog in at 188g (random weight, as I didn't see the frog lose any retained water after taking it out for photos). I also got a measurement of the frog while "flattened" out. 4.75-4.95 inches SVL (took measurements in cm then converted to inches).

Here is Karagga:

*check the last photo - there is still a little bit of the blue marking left around the butt

Thanks for pics Garret! Looks very similar to mine; but Duncan's dorsal ridges run unbroken on his back and his eyes are a bit darker. I thought Duncan was growing because he got bigger but appears he was just gaining some weight, since it's still below 4 in. even when stretched.

Karagga looks very nice and healthy on the pics and appears pretty docile. Duncan still fears me; always wonder what treatment he got from humans before me or maybe it's just his nature .
