Sex of ADF

[sstanley]

Hi all, this is one of my ADFs and I can’t tell if it’s a female or a male. Could y’all help me out? The other is female and I really don’t want them to mate. I think I can see a budding gland under its forearm but I’m not sure. Thanks!

Ask it. It may feel as tho it’s one or the other. Nowadays we aren’t allowed to assume.
Lol jk

I have no idea how to sex them.

I wouldn't be too worried about them mating regardless of sex. The proper conditions and triggers usually don't just happen. It usually takes a bit of work to encourage them to mate. Even if they do breed spontaneously, it's unlikely the eggs or any tadpoles will survive unless you move the adults to another tank, because the adults readily eat both eggs and tads.

Thank you for your help! That was my main concern since I am in a dorm so I can’t really be breeding frogs right now. Your response was super helpful!
