I recently bought two reed frogs at a local reptile expo. I wanted to know if anyone here can tell me how they breed, and how to encourage them to. Is there any sexual dimorphism? Interstingly enough, the day I bought them the female layed eggs. I got to keep them and I hope they are fertile. Check out these photos! The orange one I believe is the female. the male is hiding but he is smaller than the female and is yellow most of the time. He has markings above his eyes like the females.

I'm new to the forum.

Those appear to be Hyperolius puncticulatus. Pick up a copy of "Breeding Terrarium Animals" by Elke Zimmermann. That's the first source I can think of with a good coverage of Hyperolius.
 
Thank you so much for the scientific name! I'll look into that book.
