I love her colors...

Whats up all so yea here is Louis which you have seen since a baby. She had me guessing the whole time whether it was a male or female since her head was great size to the body and since i herd her croak 100% i saw it for my self but over a month or so ago she blew out sideways making her my beautiful babayy girl.

All in all she is my most interactive "larger" frog that i have always out and always in her water dish. I am happy in a way that it turned out to be a female since her water bowl (her fav) fits her perfect and same with my 20 gal, how i look at it if she turned out to be a male i would have had to get a larger tank more $$$ that i could put to something else so enjoy my pics of Louis and i got more pics of Packie that just came out of a comah hehe and same with Big Moe

Enjoy,
Tim

Your froggie is a lot like mine. I thought mine was a male because of some croaking last summer, but I think it's a girl now. Mine also got big around the middle, small head. I guess the girls can croak...

[Herpguy]

Females do not "croak," but they can make noise. Females just cannot call using a throat sac like males.

[DeeDub]

Pretty sure I called this one as female...not to rub it in...lol

My frog made noises that sounded like a call (I looked up the sounds online). But mine certainly looks female now. I wouldn't say females couldn't make calls. For example, I have a female canary I bought as a male a few years ago. The breeder thought it was male, it certainly SANG like a male (and everyone will tell you females don't sing!). It wasn't until she started trying to make a nest and laid eggs that I knew for sure...Frogs could do that same thing...

your frog looks kinda male-ish to me

[Wicked frogs]

Deedub nothing to run in lol and yea herpguy if it was a noise then it was a weird croaking noise...

[DeeDub]

Sorry, didn't mean it like that. I really like the females.

It is physically impossible for a female to "call", because they do not have throat sacs. They can definitely make noise, albeit not as loud as the males. Funny story with the canary! I've had hens that definitely crowed like roosters!

Very nice colors and very define back ridges.

HerpGuy is right. Females don't actually call. You could say that they do in a way. I believe they do as the American Bullfrog female and produce a mating sound in response to the male's actual bellow. It is still quite audible, but no where near as loud as the male. I've never heard a female produce this noise though. The American Bullfrog(Rana catesbeiana)female's call sounds like a belch .

Even though these two species are not very close relatives this could be the "croak" that you thought you heard.

Herpguy i might have phased it wrong cuz i know my dwarf has a deep low bellow call which can be herd very easily it was not like that honestly i wish i could have caught it on film but i doubt i ever will but it was unique and it looked like she was trying to let something out any who i am strapped as gender wise that it is a female a very nice looking female with a newly grown pair of boobs that would be a set of 4 now lolol as seen in pic 1.

I really think this has to be male!
1. Has a wide pointy snout
2. I have noticed that males have longer stripe things on their backs
3. He croaked

[African bullfrogs]

Btw he has long stripes

Pointy generally means female, and it's not wide enough for a male. Generally I've noticed the male's jaw line goes shoulder to shoulder, where a females isn't as close to the shoulders (looking at pic 3 for this comparison).
And as stated, females can make noises, mine grunts and puffs air at me all the time! What would be definitive is age/weight. My female is 4 years old and weight a quarter pound less than my 7 month old male.
