Question

How are fire bellied toads told apart from boys and girls?

Answer 1

Male and female fire-bellied toads look like twins to the untrained eye. Even to the trained eye many differences aren't obvious, and the amphibians themselves sometimes mistake male for female. Slight differences in physical characteristics, and behavioral and physical changes come mating season, give insight into what kind of fire-bellied toad you're dealing with. Note that while females and males will breed, aggression will not typically result from keeping two of the same sex.
