How do you tell the difference between the sexs?? Also all the care sheets I've seen say they breed REALLY easily is this ture?? One last kinda dumb question, do they have sticky pads on their toes?
no sticky feet. they breed easily because they breed year round, there have even been problems of a male 'harrasing' the female to much. one breeding session the female can use that sperm for months. i don't know how to tell sexes apart. hope this helps

Thanks it does.
They have small, under-developed pads. Babies can climb VERY well however, so there has to be a really good lid. They also need tons of food, and higher humidity. Adults aren't nearly as adept at climbing.
Sexes are very easy to tell apart. The males have huge bulges at the base of the tail. They also have larger heads, and usually get larger then females.
Make sure, if you are breeding, to keep the females as well fed as possible. They can actually lay themselves to death...

Ya I've read that before about them laying to death. Also the one I have is about 2 in, now roughly how old would it be do you think??
It's a calcium and nutrient issue, so dust food well!
At 2"...hmmm. maybe 6 weeks, give or take a bit, depending on feedings...could be a couple weeks less even.
