Completely wrong!!

Elton the Green Treefrog has been calling day and night the last few days. Today, he started calling in the afternoon and I managed to sneak up on him...to discover that the one I actually named Elton (the smaller and darker of the two) was NOT the one calling! The one I assumed was female, is lighter and significantly larger of the two, was singing his heart out! So, I am now completely confused on the sexing, and I have no idea if the smaller, darker one, is male or female or what. Anyone have any suggestions?

The first picture is of the two of them together-the frog on the right is now the confirmed male. The next two are of the one that I have been calling Elton but is now unknown.

Well that complicates a bunch of things Jo!
Let us know when you get it sorted.

Awww they are tooo cute! Well, Elton, one day might start calling and turn into a boy....

You are too funny! You might have 2 boys on your hands. You may have to wait til the other one gets a little older still young, and listen for it to call too!

Wow, I would have come to the same conclusion. I guess the best thing to do is to start calling Elton, Ella and hope the two of them figure things out a lay a nice big clutch of eggs for you. Are they Green Tree frogs? If so, I could easily catch several and ship them to you for the cost of shipping if you want a better chance at having a pair.

Edit - oops, I just remembered that you are in Canada. How complicated is it to ship live frogs across the border?

Lesley, it is kind of funny, though frustrating as all hang. Just when I think I have things figured out, Mother Nature throws me a curveball!

I am going to have to try and get some decent pictures of the smaller, darker one and see if I can figure it out. Keep fingers crossed!

JimO, thanks very much for the offer. I am not all that concerned about having a pair, other than the fact that I had two great names picked out and now I might have to change one of them. Shipping live frogs to Canada is more hassle than it is worth I discovered, but I appreciate the thought!

Humm, You do have yourself in a bit of a quandary, but it's easy enough to change names, it's the years of therapy you'll need to save up for!!!LOL
