Hi,
Hopefully i'm posting this alright and following forum rules.
A couple days ago I got a couple African Dwarf Frogs. I was wondering if anyone can tell me their sex. I know that there should be a gland, but I'm still having problems. Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry I know the quality of the pictures aren't amazing.
Thank you!
Males:
- Slightly smaller then a female
- Skinnier in the body then a female
- Post Axillary Subdermal Gland – small glad behind each armpit, can be whiteish or pinkish in color. (looks like a little pimple). The role this gland plays in mating is not well understood.
- Males will reach sexual maturity at 9 months old.
- They will sing to attract a female. This sounds like a quiet buzz or humming.
Females:
- Slightly larger then a male
- Chubbier body then a male
- Females have a cloaca (small bump) between their legs. This is where eggs and waste are passed.
- Females reach sexual maturity at 9 months old
