    The amount of oxygen where you live is not going to make a Ceratophrys larger than one where someone else lives. I don't know about a vet test to determine sex, check with an animal vet with a herp specialist. The snout sexing is another unreliable way to sex frogs, and has a very mediocre rate of success. The way it's supposed to work is that a male has more of a flat snout and a female has a larger, more rounded snout. I've had moderate success with my guesses sexing this way, but it's definitely not a for sure way to sex horned frogs. Lastly, size is the best way to sex Ceratophrys far and away in my opinion. Hope this helps.

    my crans are very agressive when eating. prolly why there so huge. they would eat a mouse every day if i offered it. They always jump up at the mouse before i can put it down in the cage. I have ended up throwing the severed tail left in my fingers in the trash quite a few times. So far, they haven't bit me after becoming aduts, thankfully. I guess they learned that my fingers are not food while they were little.

    I think its a female as well, my female brown cranwelli has the spots as well and has a male looking snout. My males always had real dark black spots and real saggy throats.
