Many believe its at a certain size that they receive their pads, but its actually whenever the male frog reaches sexual maturity, but in truth its actually both. The faster the frog grows the faster its body matures and so they can have Nuptial Pads as early as. 2.5" which is not full grown, but nearing that stage. Most of the time sexual maturity takes place from 8 months to a year of age, but some to fully mature faster than others.

The best thing to do is keep a look out for these Pads, but in my experience most males begin to call before they receive their pads, but that doesn't go for all frogs or all species. This is why sexing frogs can be quite difficult and acquiring pairs even more so.
