on left is the "male" on right is the female...
not sure if the one of the left is male so i am
getting another male from josh willard.

Patty, will you look at the pic of the leucs in the previous post and try and sex them? The one on the right is definite female, but the one on the right I'm unsure of. He/she looks to have a different body shape, but still a little plump. My male and female leucs (I have 5 pairs) don't have different sized toepads, but the one on the left appears to have bigger than normal toepads. He hasn't, however, heard any calling from the tank.

The one on the left looks like a male to me, not because of the toe pads in particular, although they are more fluted out than the female on the right. They are both plump in the abdomen, but the one on the left has a more pointed, narrow pelvis, which suggests male to me. This is a WAG, and I'm no expert, but this may be just one of the things I notice unconsciously when I sex my own frogs by "instinct." Instinct is just subconscious things you notice about body habitus, subtle behavior over time that you can't always put a handle to, that later proves out by calling and breeding activity. I do not deliberately breed frogs-I have no ambitions for propagatins and sales. If they do it, fine, but they're on their own. I just try to give them their own resources and a healthy habitat and like to watch them.
