Finally got some pixies

[Jeff Kennedy]

John, Josh's Frogs purchased direct from The Frog Ranch and would have received the second batch that Kim had available. These are 55 days old today. You made a right choice by picking a healthier looking specimen regardless of head size. If you end up with a female and desire a male, I can surely hook you up in the future as hopefully I will have many.

i had the exact same theory but it was shot down

I'd like to know who shot it down...
This theory has been around for quite sometime. When I first joined the "fat frog" hobby a few years ago, this was common knowledge on a forum that no longer exists.
While it is a good way to detect males early on, Youngsters like these with smaller heads can and do also turn out to be male.
A long with the head size they also believe young males have longer legs in comparison, maybe you guys can put this to the test.
Though in case you all didn't know 90% of pyxies can be accurately sexed at 4 inches.

It should be noted that the 55 days that I mentioned is from the time that eggs were produced. Remember that Pyxies average 18-21 days before they emerge into froglets.

Will, what theory are you speaking of being shot down? The head thickness??

[willtilian]

yeah that one

The one i have that i believe is a male, is larger lighter and has a wider head.

Also when they were all the same size it still seemed male.

Wow, Jeff. those photos are great. They sure do look like a male and a female by the head structure compared to the body. It will be a GREAT insight to the species when we do find out the sex. Thank you for keeping us posted.

Jeff, what kind of filing system are you using for filing your photos for each specimen? And data figures?
