| 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? Michael[b] | |

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 | |

| https://i.servimg.com/u/f44/12/64/46/10/dsc_0512.jpg 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 | |
