    I really think one is a female still to soon to be 100 percent. It is much smaller and darker in color then the others. also the other 5 are starting to develope yellow-ish under-bellies while the one is still cream color underneath. only time will tell. But i tell you what they eat there weight in roaches every day.

    Color has nothing to do with sex. Not even the orange arm pits. Yellowish throat can determine male, but it takes time for the yellow to develope.

    You cannot sex these frogs by colors, I have seen females that are more colorful than males.

    Even yellow throat doesn't determine sex, some males will have white throat throughout it's life.

    That's another feature that can be shot down. Some males are late bloomers for head size Lol! You can hope for a female among the group, but I'm with Noob. All males.

    Read somewhere that the male/female ratio in CBB GABF is skewed toward males. You can always raise them until they are 4-4.5 in. Then pick your keeper males and offer the rest for trade. Many members want a big male and imagine would trade their females for one .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Interesting to hear. Demon is doing exactly that right now. I jus can't wait until they do get big enough which looks to be very soon!

    I really wouldnt be surprised if they are all males. They all have exactly the same size appetite. Not one of them eats more then the other. Which I am sure at this point this has nothing to do with sex. This is a very active little group. They love dubia, and lateralis. I also feed them earth worms and the occasional wax worm. These frogs have yet to see a cricket.

    It's probably just from the angle it's sitting to the camera but it's head screams male as well.

    Very true. I know this because mine has a white throat. Well more of a cream color. Each individual is different even in their growth. Günther hit 6" at 4 months, but has since slowed way down at 6.5"
