    The Nuptial pads aren't white. They're brown or black and look like a mole.

    Not trying to burst your bubble or nothing, but they are. Usually dont show until the frog reaches sexual maturity which can be 8 month to a year of age. Some early bloomers will show much sooner at around 5 month. The size of the frog and its growth rate will determine just how soon they'll reach sexual maturity. Has the frog started calling yet?

    No haven't heard any calls, and yeah I know they are brown at maturity but I thought when the first started showing the they started as white bumps. I could very well be wrong but I had never noticed these bumps before and they are right where nuptial pads would be on the thumb.

    At your frogs size and age anyway. Nuptial pads are a good indicator for sub adults to adults.
