    Still too young; need to wait until it's around 4 in. SVL. Frog says it's a male; but who can trust one ?
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Coloring is not an indicator of sex. Both males and females can have those colors.

    Usually the male's noses' are more pointy than the females. Females tend to have more round snouts. You can see your frog better than I can from these photos. Look at pictures and compare them to your frog. Generally, you should be able to tell by this age. Although coloration is not a sure marker, it's pretty reliable. Just looking at the coloration on yours, it appears to be female, but again, look at the noses'. Females will retain the stripe down the back, males will not (1- 1 1/2 years).

    As Colleen/Jerrod stated, coloring is not a reliable sex indicator. Neither are a pointy (or lack of) nose or the presence or absence of a stripe in the back. An experienced breeder/keeper can use many cues to help make pretty accurate determinations; specially if frog is available for examination. Still, there are cases at this forum when almost everyone thought female and it turned out a late blooming male. My recommendation is to enjoy your frog and take good care of it. They grow very fast and will know soon if male or female .
