Male or female?

[nickc]

My pac is just over a year old and is about 4 inches in length. However, I have never heard it croak.

Because of the size is it safe to say its a male?

Nutrition and other factors can affect the size. Why don't you post some pictures from different angles so we can see for sure?

Pacman frogs are usually sexed based on size. Females tend to be somewhat larger than males. Also, males generally have darker throats or a patch of dark skin on their throats. These differences can only be seen in near-adult frogs, however.

Females can very often have darker throats. More pigment to them at very least. Esp when it comes to Ceratophrys Cranwelli. A good way to tell is by the presence of nuptial pads on the males front feet. Females might have small bumps here, but nothing obvious like the male. These dont usually fully develop until almost adulthood either. I have had males and females w almost black throats and both that had no darkness to the throat. You can try misting your frog w water a few times a day to try to get him to "croak" or ''call". Or even play sounds of other frogs calling. That usually stimulates males to call.

That is also vey true. The best way to tell, is if you wait for your pacman to reach maturity (which can take up to 1.5 to 2 years) and then apply these guidlines.
