Pacman calling, how early can they start?

I have mine since 10th July. That was when it was 1.5". So in 2 months, it grew 1.3". Not sure if his growth rate is normal though.

I haven't heard mine call when I'm awake though, maybe he's too shy. I've tried misting his tank, and playing youtube videos of other pacman croaking and he just doesn't respond.

Well, right now it's pretty dark upstairs in my room because it's raining outside.. I'm hearing gray tree frogs call outside every 30 mins or so, so he's not the only one calling. Must be something in the air. This morning the Gray tree frogs were making a lot of noise, they LOVE it when it rains.

Usually once they reach 2.5" to 3" they'll attempt to call or around 5.5 month of age. Size and if their are other male Pacs calling usually determine whether they'll start calling or not. The more males calling heard by youngsters they sooner they'll start, but this also differs from frog to frog.

You think all of the gray tree frogs calling outside could have trigger his calls? I haven't measured him but I don't think the albino is 2.5 yet. I need to get them out for pictures/measurements. I've been meaning too but now that one of them is calling, I think it's a must. I'm hoping it's the albino.. I'd be shocked if it was the Green Apple.

So would I. As far as I know no one has ever heard a Green Apple call, but that's probably due to most not making it that far in their lives.

Big photo dump, here's my pacmans. Like I said, I've always kind of thought the Green was a female and that the male was an albino. What do you guys think? That last picture of the albino is probably two weeks old, give or take. All the other pics I took today. Tried to get them from all angles, forgot the overhead shot of the Green.

The Green looks to be male. Check for nuptial pads on his thumbs. 5th pic you can see his vocal sac slightly.
