Help me Sex my Azureus...

kyle1745 Jul 17, 2003 08:09 AM

I have also sent these to the breeder to help me sex them, but what do you guys think. I thought I heard one call, but I am unsure what the Azureus call sounds like. It was low almost like a stomach growel and very quiet.

Ok here they are: The second one is the larger/rounder one:

The fingertips of both of your azureus are flat and broad, whcih means that they are most likely males. The call is often very low and quick- similar to other PDF's.

Thanks for the response I was hoping to have a pair, since one is fatter than the other. Worst case I have to buy a female.

Kyle, I would bet the top one is a male, not sure on the bottom one, it looks kinda round like a female but the toe pads looks like it could be a male ? How old are they ? Also, the best description I can give of their call is like a beeper on vibrate mode, when you get the real short reminder vibrate, it sounds very similar and is about the same duration.

You need to get better pics of the toepads. From these pics & the body stance I would guess the top is a male & the bottom a female. Without seeing better pics of the toe pads, I couldn't say for sure.

I would guess 5-6 months. I got them in April and I would say they were a month or two old when I got them. Might be a bit soon to sex them, but thought I would ask. They do seem about full size though.
