Gender?

[GrifTheGreat]

So I have always assumed that my older pacman Grif is a male. Mainly because he made cheeping noises when he was younger. I had read that the females didn't make any noise (I now know that isn't true) so I assumed that he was male. I've had him for a little over seven months and he just hit the four inch mark, so maaaaybe a reassessment is in order?? Here are some recent pics:

This was right after his soak. He had just peed and pooped, so he looks a lil skinnier than usual.



So... any guesses??

I don't see any nuptial pads on his thumbs, what does Grif's stomach and chin/chest look like? Does he had spots on his stomach and chin/chest or is it near all white?

[GrifTheGreat]

Lots of spots (I forgot to mention that; it was the other reason we thought he was a boy.) They were very dark and discernible when he was younger. Now they are still there but much lighter.

Grif is only 7 months old? I'm not really convinced that he is a he, without those nuptial pads on his thumbs he gives me the feeling he's a she

I'm having trouble sexing my pac man too...
So Mine has black spots on it's neck but I haven't looked at it's thumbs...
what am I looking for exactly?

Here's a post with a pic (By John) that shows a nuptial pad on a Pacman Frog:

I don't know too much about pacmans as of right now. (I just got mine today, but I've researched for months) But I did read about the pads on the fingers, basing it only on my reading, I would say Grif is a she. Hope I could help somewhat!

He could be a she. It doesn't matter to me really what sex he/she is. Its just strange because he/she did stop growing for a while at 3.5 inches and has not made any call sounds but when we brought him/her home he/sh made a cheeping sound an diid growl at me once when I tried to get dirt away form his/her eye. From what I understood females make no sounds at all. Except like grunting sound which I have never heard.
