    To be 100% sure, Yes.

    At what size should the pads be out? Or are there late bloomers?

    Mine is 2.8" at the moment, and no nuptial pads. No croaking either. Is it a confirmed female then?

    Some males will get their pads at 2.5" to 3" SVL.

    I see. I will have to wait to confirm then. Hoping it's a female. I want a bigger frog!

    Sometimes if you can get a good look at their thumb you can see where the pad is beginning to appear.

    There is a little bump, so it is shaped like a wide capital T but no discoloration.
