Male or Female Leopard Frogs/ Mating

chalinmak Jan 15, 2004 11:44 AM

I cannot tell if my two leopard frogs are male or female. How could I tell?

Also, I often find them sitting on top of each other, why would they do that?

Thanks in advance,
chalinmak

Is the one in the back clinching the other ones belly, right infront of the back legs??
If that the situation....well yes they are

Good Luck

I'll have to look closer next time, but thank you soooo much!

You can tell them apart when they mature more... males will emit a creaky-sounding call once in awhile, usually when they're eating and one frog climbs over him to get food. My little male leo frog does this when the larger female in his tank bowls him over to eat. (Yes, I do make sure that they both get their share of the food!)
Males will usually develop darker coloring under their throat also.

males will not grow to be as big as females!

I think that KSnake really should add an Edit Post option!
