Hello all....I am quite new to dart frog ownership but I have some really nice frogs and a few setups...I am wondering how do I sext the frogs I own and at what age can the begin to be accurately sexed? Should I post pics?
Honestly, there's guidelines that you can look up but they're only guidelines. To really sex them properly you'll need to either catch them calling or giving back-rubs. Posting pics in the identification forum (I think that's where they go) is also a good way of getting a roughish idea of male/female.
What kind of frogs are they? That will change a lot about when/how to sex them.
They look like powder blue tincs. Some better shots of the one in the rear would be good. They both seem to have large toe pads , but it would be good to get anther picture.
female tincs should also be larger/rounder. yours in the foreground looks male to me. back one, need to see better photos. try to get a top down and a profile of each frog side by side, that'll help.
watch the classified section... there's a couple of tinc specialists on the board you could talk to as well. Richard (woodsman) has mostly tincs and Lisa (chesney) usually has a bunch as well. i think her site is index
