There are two types of people in this world, good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more.

Great Pic!!!

BTW... How did you/can you tell for sure what sex they are?

I've had mine (WTF) for over a year and they were fairly big when I got them... The big one takes up the palm of my hand and the smaller one is about 1/3 to a 1/2 smaller...

I always thought I had a boy and girl, but they've never made a sound... (talked about that below)

0.0.2 WTF
0.0.2 Leopard Gecks
0.1.0 Russian Tortoise
1.1.0 Cats
0.1.0 Golden Retriever
1.0.0 Midas Cichlid (Gorby)
and about a gazzilion guppies and miscelaneous fish...

With Priss now it's fairly easy - he will croak at the slightest provocation. He also trys Amplexis with anything that moves when the rain is on (poor Jeffery discovered this the other day - so did Tori's leg and even William, one of the Spotted Grass frogs (Limnodynastes Tasmaniensis) who share the enclosure.

But when they're younger it's a little more tricky - there are MINOR differences in the structure of their hands and the throat - these are very difficult to spot in a moving slipery creature. During the breeding season (December to march in southern hemisphere) the nuptual pads will show up - that's a definate and easy to spot indicator of a boy - mature females will develop eggs which can be seen through the skin of the abdomen (usually easiest to see as they climb the glass - a darkened area of sometimes defined black blobs seen through the skin of the lower body sides) - but if your frog friends are immature then the eggs will not be there and the nuptual pads will not go dark brown (although they will turn up as a raised portion of green at the base of the thumb))

However the responding to recorded croaks is allways a good bet - I can send you a couple of WAVs to play to them - If you want them then email me @ spq@va.com.au
