    Default Sex a Leptopelis vermiculatus

    Hi all

    I'm wondering how to know sex this frog. I know that the female is bigger than male and also that the male usually croak, no??

    But I have only one frog so I cannot compare the size and I have never listen any kind of croaking from my frog.

    Then I think that it is she but I am not sure

    Could you help me with any advise?

    Thanks

    Hi:

    This species is one of the largest treefrogs in Africa - males 50 mm, females 85 mm. Males have pectoral glands and will call. The pectoral markings, usually dark, are on the chest near the arms.
