    It appears that way Epic. I re-iterate that it is too soon to judge as one batch is only two months old and the other a little over a month but it is looking that way. The ones that we have labeled as female just have a more narrow head then the ones that we have labeled male. Hopefully we are correct as our whole purpose was trying to raise that 10 incher that you hear everyone speak of but never see. We have a few that look to be on their way though .

    Here is just two examples from the same group that we are talking about. Both frogs are from the same clutch. We are estimating the male to be the first due to it's wide head and the female to be the second one due to the more narrow head. If this is any indication of sex, then we have more males then females.

    You will notice that both examples are about the same size as far as length and girth, yet the second exhibits a much narrower head.

    John, yes, it's not an exact science but I think that we might be on to something. We are seeing that the frogs we have labeled as males are for the most part larger and exhibit a wider head then the ones we have labeled females. This is really the only thing we can go by at this point and we know that this can be wrong. We are just making preliminary guesses as to the sex to see where they end up at a couple of months from now. Hopefully we are right with our estimates as we are heavy on the male side right now based on our observations.

    Hey Epic, In the pictures that I just uploaded, I was saying that the first one appears to us to be a male and the second one a female as she looks to have a more narrow head. The pics that you attached looks to be a male. His head is just as wide as the ones in our study that we are preliminary labeling as males. We shall see in a couple of months if this guesstimation is right

    nice take some more pictures if you can. Those are defintely males.i think i have 2 males out of the batch i got. I gave away a bunch to my friends maybe they will turn out with some monsters, but like i said i kinda prefer the females because they are more verocious in the long run. You cant go wrong either way. Here is a little beast that i think is a good indicator of a little male. He is not that active but hes a little specimen.
