Help sexing my dart frogs

[JimO]

Tony - that's an easy one. It's a shemale - a recently discovered D. tinctorius morph referred to as the self ambulatory articulated hermaphroditic dying poisn dart frog.

Sorry, it's late and I can sleep or stop typing because of the painkillers I'm on after hernia surgery yesterday. So, I cannot be blamed for anything I say, unless it's a really bad pun.

You know, two atoms wake up after a night on the town and one says to the other, "I think I've lost a couple of electrons. His friend asks, "Are you sure?" and he responds "Yes, I'm positive". His friend dismisses it and says, "I think you're just over-reacting.

HA - LMAO

I have a million of them and they never get old. Sorry for the tangent off the thread topic.

As I said before, unless you (the OP) have a burning desire to breed some frogs, just enjoy them, keep an eye on them to make sure one doesn't start dropping weight, and look for a female at your leisure.

Oh, and one more thing as a precaution, I wouldn't leave any pools of water deep enough to cover the nostrils if one of there heads was resting on the bottom. As a temporary fix you could add pebbles to any pools of water so that you don't have to lower the water level. If a serious conflict erupts, one of the frogs could drown the other by holding its head under water. It's more common than people think.

I better try to get some sleep.

I didn't think you were overly pessimistic jimo, I appreciate all the help I get here.

I don't have a pool in the tank, so drowning is not an issue, and there is a fair amount of hiding places in the tank out of view if one another.

I will just keep an eye on them, they have lived together since they were tads, so fingers crossed they won't fight.

Thanks for all the advice!

Edit: I have tried playing some tinc calling, but it didn't stimulate any calling of their own unfortunately

Hi all, just wanted to say thanks for your help!

I caught the fatter frog (Buddha) calling today - though i didnt manage to get a video. Almost certain I have 2 males!

Haha, so he is
Little chubby for his sex, but well

As already said before you can introduce a female with them when you like to breed them.
Better 2 males then 2 females in a tank.
Just as people, males go much better together then 2 females,
that's just a matter of time before they start a fight
