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!

You got a male however his growth was probably stunted because of a mostly bug diet. You should of fed him a few more fatty protein filled mice and he might of hit 7 inches.
Females are like 4-5 inches . Males in the wild are 7-10 inches. Captive breds are 7-8
