My Pixie frog, Bulldozer

maitre · 11-07-2009, 02:21 AM

This is my first pixie frog, Bulldozer, aka. Bullie, aka. Dozer : P Its name depends on my mood.

I got it back in September when it was ~2.5" and it's now 3.5". Right now, I'm feeding it a staple diet of B. dubia and B. lateralis roaches every day but sometimes I'll skip a day. It gets earthworms from time to time and I'm going to pick up its first pinkie mouse at the upcoming reptile expo. It currently lives in a large rubbermaid tub (which should be okay for the rest of its life because it measures ~30" x 18" x 18") and it has a 40w heat lamp ~18" on top of its water dish.

I don't know what sex it is; and since I'm super eager for it to be a male, I don't trust my own judgement cuz I'm biased. So what do you guys think? Is this a male or female?

Here's some pics

I underexposed this image to saturate the colours.

These two pics are similar but I noticed its dimensions look slightly different from different angles so I included both shots.

I hope this one's a male cuz the males grow up to around 9" snout-vent-length!!!

Hard to tell. Let it reach 4-4.5" and re-post some more pics and then we can tell.

Do you think I can pick him up to induce croaking? My male cane toad does that when you grab him from behind with 2 fingers

Triangular and powerful head shape like that is male for sure.
