So unless you are observing said frog in person it's almost impossible to correctly sex by this theory.
    This is a possible reason why it's working for Eridu and not others. Having the frog in person can provide many visual clues and multi-angled views, hence greatly improving the chance of accurate sexing.

    For example, I can sex Central American cichlids in a tank when quite young; but it's a guessing game from a 2 dimensional pic with no venting, fish movement or interaction among them.

    If a super-female like Eridu states, and fertile, OP's got quite a treasure. Would wait to see if Griff's male grows to maybe 9-10 in. and formulate a plan to cross them. He, he, he, just dreaming of a selectively bred 14 in. GABF in couple generations .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    If he reaches 10"+ I'm sending you all the feeding bill Lol!! Yesterday he ate 3 balls of Pacman Food and then proceeded to devour 20+ Night Crawlers. That is the most he has ever eaten in one sitting thus far. I'm sure if there were a 14" GABF it would be some kind of record.

    He even got out of his burrow and went over to his feeder dish and waited patiently for me to feed him.

    Normally it is. He skips a day between feedings now so every other day. It surprises me that he is that smart to know what the dish is for like a dog would. I never expected that Lol!
