Assuming Tuko is a girl?

[reptileszz]

After reading a couple of recent and not so recent threads I guess I can assume that Tuko is female. She has not uttered a sound and she is in the neighborhood of one year old now.

Here is a recent (yesterday) pic. I would say she is about 3 inches.

3 inches is too small for a female that is around one year old. Pacman females are always larger in size so I assume two things happened....either he is a male that has not called yet( yet by this age, males normally grow a little "airsack/beard" under their chin that is easily visible and have nuptial pads on their thumbs) or your female could be stunted. Have you been dusting Ca/D3 & multivitamin supplements throughout the first year?

Nials only a few frogs reach their range in SVL. Most are smaller. Having a 3" female is not unheard of just as an 8" female isn't, but is very rare. Most Ornate females fall around 4.75" to 5.5". Even 6" is rare.

Hi, over the winter he/she went on a hunger strike for several months and barely ate. I had her in a 20 gallon which I now realized was too big. The other conditions such as temps and humidity were good altho I was not dechlorinating the water. She didnt eat hardly anything all winter. At some point in the spring I happened to need that 20 gallon for someone else so I moved her to a much smaller critter keeper (maybe 8 inches by 12inches). She instantly began to eat and eat well and has eaten well since. I think her hunger strike over the winter contributed to her smallish size now. I think she has grown at least half an inch, maybe an inch over the summer. OK, just went and actually measured her. She is 3.5 inches snout vent.

Thank you,
