I guess no on can help me out ? Please I really need to know any one know or any guesses
Usually its pretty tricky to sex GABFs in the middle of their growth. Males will reach anywhere from 7-9 inches and females will grow to half that size (4-6 inches). There are probably a few key point differences, males will have nuptual pads (Black spots underneath the male's thumbs) IMO i would say it would be a female because of the size of the head.

I agree it is very tricky to tell what sex a juvenile is. When the frog becomes an adult, the stripe down the back will disappear or fade out. However, I maybe wrong but IMHO, you have one giant and one dwarf. If you look at the bottom 3 photos, there is no doubt that is a giant. The top 3 photos are questionable. The reason I say that is that the frog in the top 3 photos have two characteristics that are found in the dwarf but not the giant: 1) the interorbital bar (the bar going across the head connecting the two eyes) and 2) the bright spot in the tympanum. It could also be a hybrid or a third recently described species in the genus Pyxicephalus.

Thanks for the replies nd would like some more answer aswell .... nd both of them are Giants I saw the pratants of the first 3 pics nd they were Giants I will take some more pics as well to update with u guys
Here some other pics let me know what u guys think![]()
Hiya, I would say the adspersus is a male, given his relatively thickened forearms. This is a reliable means of sexing (short of dissecting him to take a look inside). The edulis is too young still to sex.
Any more thoughts ?
