Hello from Turkey,
I want to learn my frogs sex if its possible![]()

I think it's difficult to tell with albinos, but males will often have a 'beard' of dark spots under their chins. I can't really tell from the pics, but yours doesn't look like it has a lot of spots on its neck....
The only sure way to tell if your frog calls or not. Males are the only ones that call, and they start fairly young (mine's about that size, and he's just started chirping at me sometimes). If I had to guess I'd say yours is a female, but there's no way to be sure just based on pics.
Very nice looking frog btw![]()
Honestly, I don't think it is any harder to sex albinos than greens, but that doesn't mean it is easy. DVirginiana gave you the best points for sexing your Pacman Frog.
I wouldn't yet go as far as to say it is a female, though. If I had to *guess*, I would think it was a male. "Nose-sexing" is not a common method of sexing because it isn't reliably accurate, but at least it gives you a place to start. Yours looks kind of like a male that way, just like Malcolm's snout (it gives you about a 70-80% chance of being accurate from what I have heard). Also, it looks like there may be some darker lining going across, just under your Pacman Frog's mouth. Can't be sure, but you may want to take a nice look at that.
Anyway, these are just somewhat reliable methods. If both of these are present, however, it is pretty likely that your Pacman Frog is a male. If it croaks then you have certainly got a male. I hear they usually don't start croaking until they are 9 months, but I don't know about that. That doesn't include chirping, I don't think.
At your frogs stage there are really no "for sure" ways to accurately sex your frog. People can give you educated guesses, but that's really all they'll be at this point.
I still question the sex of Two of my own frogs. My largest pacman, Nathan, is less than 1 year old and will let out a line of chirps or one deep croak like once every two weeks (while I'm there). Yet he is topically to large to be male, at just over 7" and still growing with every meal. not fat at all. He also has a snout that is classified as female. My albino pac, Baggy, is over 4 yrs old and is only 3 1/4" long. He has never made a sound (vocaly), and has the face of a male. idk maybe he's just quiet. The other 2 are definitely dudes.![]()
Dude, I don't know how the whole species thing goes. All I know is that he is either a cran or an ornate. Whats the key difference and can't they breed together without creating a hybrid? I know that fantasies are bred from surinams and an ornate or cranwell, and they are a hybrid.
I need to see this 7'' ceratophrys to believe it...Not to say it's impossible, but my guess is your claim is about an inch and a half off. Any chance of a picture of her next to a ruler???
