Description
Confirmed Female Mossy Frog for Sale (UK) – Nottingham
This product is for a confirmed female mossy frog (Vietnamese mossy frog, Theloderma corticale) available in the UK, located in Nottingham. If you are looking specifically for a female mossy frog rather than an unsexed froglet, you’ll already know how rare this is: in many captive-bred clutches, most mossy froglets mature into males, making a sexed, confirmed female very difficult to obtain.
Because this listing is for the person/people actively searching for a confirmed female mossy frog UK, we’ve made it clear and specific: this is one confirmed female (not a pair, not “probable female”, not “unsexed”).
Why Confirmed Female Mossy Frogs Are So Hard to Find
There is a long-running reality in the hobby: female mossy frogs are scarce. Keepers frequently report that froglets grow out into male-heavy groups, which creates a big demand for confirmed females for future breeding plans and balanced groups.
There is also discussion among keepers about whether rearing temperature could influence sex ratios. To be transparent: this is not confirmed as a reliable method. We are currently experimenting by raising some tadpoles and froglets at slightly lower temperatures outside of the main frog room to see whether it makes any observable difference over time — but this is still anecdotal and experimental, not a guarantee.
Sexing & Confirmation
Unlike many listings that rely on assumptions, this animal is offered as a confirmed female based on ongoing observation and typical sex-linked behaviours in adult mossy frogs. Adult males are known for calling behaviour (particularly at night), while females typically do not call. This confirmed female has been assessed over time rather than guessed from a single photo or size estimate.

FAQ – Confirmed Female Mossy Frogs
How do you know this mossy frog is female?
This animal is offered as a confirmed female based on extended observation of typical adult sex-linked traits and behaviours. Adult males commonly call; females typically do not. Confirmation is not based on a single photo or a guess.
Can temperature influence mossy frog sex?
Some keepers speculate that cooler rearing temperatures may influence sex ratios, but there is no confirmed, reliable method accepted as fact. We are currently trialling slightly lower temperatures for tadpole/froglet grow-out outside of the frog room, but this remains experimental.
Why are female mossy frogs so rare in the UK?
Many captive grow-outs end up male-heavy. That imbalance makes a sexed, confirmed female mossy frog extremely difficult to source — and it’s why searches like “confirmed female mossy frog UK” are so common.
Is this a pair or breeding bundle?
No — this listing is for one confirmed female mossy frog only. We are intentionally targeting people searching for females specifically, not pairs.
Where are you based?
