Fantasy frog pic ... and ...

[emandkel]

It's a boy! LOL. I was cleaning tubs tonight and checked for nuptial pads. To my surprise this one has definite nuptial pads. So does my "oldest" and smallest fantasy frog (but that's no surprise as I suspected this for quite some time) -- this one being the subject for the videos I posted recently.

And I had long suspected my Caatinga is a male and suspected calling, but recently found nuptial pads on him. So 3 definite males so far out of my "group" of 10 (edit: out of my 10 pacman frogs). Suspect females are my green ornata and my apple hybrid (no nuptial pads).

Anyway, here's a pic of my male brown (orange?) fantasy I took tonight. He's just under 3 inches long.

I am aware of this -- just finding out whether my pacs are males or females is what I want to know, not for breeding, just for the knowledge

Congrats! I love their croaks.

Post some pics of the caatingas :-) I would like to see what they look like now.

Is that really a red/orange fantasy? I heard that most red fantasies never reach adult size due to genetic problems. Don't know if it's true or not. A friend of mine bought a red baby fantasy a while back. It never grew and it developed all sorts of problems , eventually it had to be euthanized. He did everything right and since then, has a collection of fat happy pacmen. I have a green fantasy myself, and he's doing great. We just figured they were too good to be true.

I'm not sure. All three of my fantasies were purchased as just "fantasy frogs" and not labeled as far as color phase -- from three different online suppliers. This one (the brown one) eats pretty well and all three seem to be healthy. Sometimes he looks more brown, sometimes he looks more orangish. Here are the other two for comparison. The green one on the left I had suspected is a female as it eats very well and is the biggest now, checked it too yesterday, and it has a baggy throat and possible nuptial pads developing, so I'm thinking it's a male as well.The green one is now on coco-earth and has darkened now to mostly brown.

Here's some pics for you of one of them, taken a few days ago. He is around 2.75" long right now.




-- I rehomed the other Caatinga about a month ago as part of some downsizing, so not sure if he changed in coloration since then and this is the last picture I have of him/her which was taken almost 2 months ago but he looked the same at the time of rehoming.

Thank you! Yours is a very pretty frog too.

Well, I heard more croaking tonight, and pretty sure it was from one of the 5 1/2 gallon tanks I have set up, and the suspect is the green fantasy. The other one in a 5 1/2 gallon is my little brown/green Cranwelli. Just more likely evidence it is a male. I was kind of hoping for a female (just for the difference in gender/size) but a male is fine too.

As I searched the internet for color phases of fantasy frogs, it does look like I have an orange fantasy (mostly brown w/orange), a tricolor (green w/orangish, my first fantasy frog), and a green. The green is about 3" long and is the biggest of the three right now, but all are probably still growing a bit.

Check each frog's throat. There should be some bruising on whoever is the culprit. It will make the spots on the throat look like they're bleeding together
