    There's a thread going on DB about Shawn's eggs and my toads, and both Ray (Coderre) and Shawn think it is indeed a female because of the amount of speckles on her belly. One of the hypothesis would be that it is a young female, and simply not ready. I'm thinking about reintroducing the toads in their housing tank. I'll keep you posted.

    I'd still leave them in there for a while, tossing them between different tanks continuously will just stress them out more. The sitting on top of another is a territorial display, but if he keeps following "her" around (or even better, the other way!) they may just be still feeling each other out. Since "she" didn't say yes immediately he may just be treating her as a male.

    Thank you, Corey. Your expertise has been truly helpful.
