American Toad Questions!

[elly]

Sadly, finding out a toad's sex is difficult. Almost impossible from the picture. But the white throat may be a clue, if the frog's not too young to have started calling yet. (At least that's true for tree frogs I don't know about Toads.) Identifying age is also pretty hard.

There is one foolproof way: if your toad starts calling regularly one spring, then you know it's male!
