Once your fogs are large enough to sex, you should
isolate the males from the females so you do not inadvertently sacrifice a
female or try to harvest eggs from a male.
As mentioned before, the females are much larger than the males and
have the visible cloaca. The first image shows an adult male and female laevis
together, clearly showing the size differences between the sexes. Next shows a
male's nuptial pads, a definitive indicator of sexual maturity. The remaining
pictures show the males (on the right) and females (on the left) with their
individual characteristics that make sexing easy.
