Hi Scott,
Just recieved two of these beauties last Friday, (June 13th),eager to hear anything you might have to say about them, especially about determining sex. One is noticably larger , both healthy and acive. Would I be right in assuming the larger to be a female?

Hi Michael,
Congrats! From what I have read the females are larger and the red/orange area is brighter and the males area is more of a pinkish tint than Orange/red.
I keep mine in a rubbermaid container with a few inches of coconut stuff with a layer of moss scattered around but not tottally covering the substrate. I feed her phoenix worms and small mealworms with an occasional wild bug. Coat the prey every few feedings with a calcium/D3 powder with a small amount of vitamin and mineral powder mixed in occasionnally .
Do you have pics?

No, Scott,
Waiting on a friend w/ a better camera for pics.
I'm almost certain , from what you've said, that I do have a M/F pair. Also, I pretty much exhausted every internet resource I could find , and they say pretty much the same.
Never seen a frog with so many different common names!
Mine are in a 10 gal. w/ a Hydroton & bark layer topped in places w/ long fiber sphagnum, some live pillow moss & a selaginella moss that's local. They still have places where they can & do back into little burrows & seem at home .
Feeding tiny crickets for now, will try other foods as well.
Thanks,
Michael

OK, here's the link to one of the female, at least.
https://i.servimg.com/u/f44/12/64/46/10/422_or10.jpg
and this is of the one I think is a male, harder to see against the Hydroton red.
and https://i.servimg.com/u/f44/12/64/46/10/dsc_0513.jpg
another of the female.
They don't like to pose often.
Michael
