sorry i know nothing of the nuptial pads. but i do know a thing or two about the marine toad. yes the females will make a chirping noise when picked up. i have a male and female and the difference is very obvious between them. every time i pick both of them up they will chirp. i believe it is a defense tactic. even American bullfrogs regardless of the sex will make an almost quack sound when defensive. they do this to startle there predator to allow them time to escape.
Now I'm relief but I want to be sure that she he is a female![]()
send a pic a can tell ya depending on the age of the toad.
Looks like a female to me. female's tend to have smoother skin then the males females also have larger poison sacks behind the eye i think that maybe because they grow larger then the males.
