    Default Can't Determine Sex of my Pyxie Frog

    >>>>>>>>Pets by AllyGraves<<<<<<<<< My Pyxie Frog

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if someone could help me find out if my Pyxie frog, Jaba the Gut, is a boy or a girl. I've had him or her for about a month now and I'm still not sure about what to call him/her. I know it sounds weird but I'd really like to know because I feel bad calling it something its not. Please someone help me.

    Need to see a picture of your frog's head from above and from the side. I would guess male, but we need more photos to be sure.

    Shape of the head and size of the head versus body.

    i say it's a girl. Regardless, it's a great looking frog! it is hard to tell when it is young. Juveniles have a line running down the center of their back. Wait a while until it is sexually mature.

    I heard something about juvenile males having blue/teal coloring on the backs of legs and around their behinds. Any truth to this?

    That isn't just males. Females have that as well. Kind of a factor to determine species, but not one documented.
