    Cornuta looks male, but will need to see nuptial pads.

    Look for these on their thumbs.

    I hate to sound like a broken record but when handling any frog or toad use exam gloves. I don't think washing your hand cuts it. It protects you and the animal!

    It is ok if you wash your hands well and re rinse in dechlor water but yes non powdered gloves are the best.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Can you be a bit more specific by "nuptial pads"? Every time I hear that word I just think of their fingers... do you have any comparisons between male/females so it would be easier to try and guess a sex?
    And please no glove/handwashing procedure tips... I already made sure my hands were washed/rinsed with de-chlorinated water -_-

    Just to chime in, I was told by the vet that is ok to handle frogs with bare hands (she also said gloves too). Just rinse with dechlorinated water- no soap- and make sure you wash your hands really well after you handle them- just as Lija and Poliwag were saying.

    There is a picture with my response. The dark spot on the frog's thumb is a nuptial pad.

    Just a dark spot? I was thinking it was just the curve in the thumb haha. I'll have a look again. Thanks grif :-)
