    Check their hind and front legs for blue tint. If they are Edulis they will have no blue tint. Also Giants have a white spot until they mature.

    They can be sexed at 4.5" with some considerable accuracy.

    I really think one is a female still to soon to be 100 percent. It is much smaller and darker in color then the others. also the other 5 are starting to develope yellow-ish under-bellies while the one is still cream color underneath. only time will tell. But i tell you what they eat there weight in roaches every day.

    Color has nothing to do with sex. Not even the orange arm pits. Yellowish throat can determine male, but it takes time for the yellow to develope.

    You cannot sex these frogs by colors, I have seen females that are more colorful than males.

    Even yellow throat doesn't determine sex, some males will have white throat throughout it's life.

    Very true. I know this because mine has a white throat. Well more of a cream color. Each individual is different even in their growth. Günther hit 6" at 4 months, but has since slowed way down at 6.5"

    That's another feature that can be shot down. Some males are late bloomers for head size Lol! You can hope for a female among the group, but I'm with Noob. All males.
