Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
My vote = small or stunted male.
Which may very well not be your fault. If I notice a few of my grow-ups taking off size wise I tend to give them the most attention food wise, the finicky eaters still get fed as often as the other's but at times may not eat as much. If I had to guess you didnt notice significant growth and assumed it was a female, his / her head is rather big for a female, I can't really tell from the pictures but does he have slightly developed "jowls" or lumps behind his head, I have yet to see a female with those developed bulges.
Nevermind I change my vote, he is definantly a male at 6inch'es long and having that head. He is just small for whatever reason

i vote male. a females head dont get that big (in proportion to the body) at that size.
Thanks for the input everybody. I took some more pics of the frog today. Hope they provide more evidence to confirm whether or not I have a female or male. One pic is a top view of the frog when it is calm and not inflated. Two more pics are of the front foot because Jimifrog mentioned the possiblity of nuptial pads. It looks like maybe there are some bumps on the foot and toes. Are those pads or just normal female feet? Very difficult for me to determine without more feet to compare them to and I'm not really sure what I should be looking for.![]()
On average, how many inches long do females get svl-wise? What is the svl range for adult males?
I've never heard mine croak. Do males always croak?
I bought this frog a few years ago at a local reptile show. It was the size of a half dollar. Over the years I've fed it crickets, superworms, nightcrawlers, roaches, silkworms... whatever I have available. Sometimes it eats voraciously and other times not so great. When I bring the frog to my 1st grade classroom, the kids love the feeding demonstrations.
Thanks in advance!
Ken
