Welcome.

Best is to get a picture and let us see 'what you got'.

I agree.

Well, they sure are well fed!

The male looks skinned over. I would think once you put him in his new cage and make sure it has the proper humidity, he should begin to wake up. The coconut fiber should be moist not soaking. Soak the fiber soil and squeeze out all the water you can, then put it in the cage for the substrate. I would mist him every day. In a day or two he should shed and be very hungry.

Nice pair of pixies.

Can you measure the length of the frog and post it? Because this looks like a female Adsperus, only because of the vertical stripe, and the head to body comparison.

sure, but im pretty positive its a male. Its double the size of the female and its throat is completely yellow.

So is a 15 or 20 gallon all Coconut Fiber with a Water bowl good enough for the male? I feel like waking him up! but dont really want to mess with him

Look at it compared to the toilet seat.. looks pretty huge to me

Yes, a 20 gallon should be good. About 3 to 4 inches of coconut substrate and a water dish that is big enough and easily enough for him to get in. I use a plexi glass cover with about 25-1/4 inch holes drilled in it. This is to help hold the moisture in.

TJ, I agree on the head to body, but the overall size may puch it more toward male. A front pic would help to see the throat. Any orange around the shoulders?

You can wake him up by putting him in a bowl of water that covers him over. I've done this several times with partially leathered frogs. After a few minutes the skin softens up and you can gently start stripping it off with your finger tips. The frog should be bright eyed and bushy tailed in a few more minutes after that.
