My First Tomato Frog

[scribbles]

I love microhylids and had been thinking getting a Tomato Frog for a while, when I saw a juvenille one at Petsmart (Braintree, MA). I rarely buy livestock from pet stores, but an associate there told me the frog had came in as a tiny froglet last summer almost a year ago, and they were having a very hard time selling it. I bought the frog. Here are a couple of pictures, he/she is around 2 1/2 inches SVL.

Congrats Haley. Very nice. Is it a female?

Thanks, I'm not sure of the gender yet. I am thinking male because of the smaller size; the frog is at least a year old.

From the size and color it looks male. Females tend to be bigger and much more colorful.
