    Default Sexing a young toad

    Hi guys!

    I know you can tell by a toads nuptual pads and by its croaking if it's male or female. But do any of you know, if it's a male if it goes "bop bop" with it's lungs, without a croak, when picked up by holding it under the armpits, or if it's a femle?

    This is the little guy:

    I might say its a male, one needs more pictures and descriptions to be sure though

    Allright

    Sorry for my late comeback.

    Here's some more pictures of the little guy:

    As far as I know, they are ca. 1 - 1½ years old. They are captive bred, but lived in a huge, public, botanical greenhouse. This one has a very sweet misdemeanour, it does the "bop-bop" movements, when I gently squeese it under the armpits, but it never croaks and it doesn't go bop-bop immediately, but first after one-three tries.

    It has the normal blackened pattern of the throat, as these juveniles of this breed does, however it's companion who's about half a year older, already has a bright orange throat and is for sure male. So I'm guessing either it's not male or it isn't fully matured, sexually, yet.

    Any new guesses?
