crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
so my pacman or woman is getting pretty big. ive had her for about four months and shes doubled in size. here are a couple pictures the first two are of her feet. im wondering if anybody could tell me the gender. i did this by myself witha crappy camera phone, so sorry if need be i will try to take more photos soon. ( i dont take my pacman out often i leave her be to not stress her out.)
anyways. i took some other photos of her after i bathed and fed her today so here they are as well...

Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
Still too young. Blue. If I. Had to guess though id say female.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
really too young? may i ask why you say/think she is too young grif???
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
Well males will call anywhere from 5.5 to 8 months of age. A males nuptual pads don't show until the frog reaches sexual maturity which is anywhere from 8 months to a year. Females have no nuptual pads or signs of sexual maturity. If you wait a few more months we can give you an accurate genderOriginally Posted by BigBlue83

Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
how old do you think my pac is grif???
thats why i asked why you say she is too young.?
ive had her for about 4 months BUT the NEHERP shop i got her from had her for a little over six months. so she is atleast nine months to 13 months old
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
Oopse lol!sorry. Exactly how big was she when you got her? If your frog is 9 to 13 months old then if she were male she would have been calling. So Id say female for sure. How big is she SVL?
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
She is small for a 9 to 13 month old female, but that could be for reasons of not recieveing enough nutrition as a youngster. Looks the size of an adult male. Which is 3" to 3.5" females are usually 4" to 4.5" sometimes females reach 5" or more.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
not that im trying to state your wrong or dont know. its funny because shes never croaked or made any noises then today i was doing some work on my firebellys tank and i heard a weird loud (louder then a firebelly croak i hear those all the time) my son was watching cartoons so i just said eehhh must be the tv. however i was talking to my wife and she said she heard her croak yesterday, and i was like REALLY? ARE YOU SURE IT WAS HER? and she said certainly because she would be looking in her tank and dorothy was sitting in her hole with just her head out and she was croaking. im sceptic to believe it, maybe im just biased because to me she is my girl so to find out shes really a guy might not be too good for her/his sexuality lol im in noooo rush to determine sex although ill be honest im interested in hearing a croak from her. am i correct that females dont croak???
also i tried to feed her a fish while she was soaking in the critter keeper (within her tank) and she wouldnt touch the feeder fish. i ended up giving it to her when she was in her tank just sitting on the eco earth. i used the tongs. i know fish arent too good, its her first time eating one. just want to give her a wide variety of foods.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
If your frog croaks its a male. Females don't croak. They can grunt/hiss/growl/ and make little pooping clicking sounds but not call. A Pacman call is unmistakable and can be VERY loud. Hers what I want you to do. Get on youtube and. Play some Pacman frog calls if Dotty is a male then he will respond to. The calls by calling back. For some reason I kept thinking Dotty was younger than that. 9 to 13 months and being that size indicates male or a stunted female.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
oh that makes sense, well lets see what happens. ive had her for 4 months since january, maybe even febuary. she has doubled in size. id like to see where she is in a couple months. i know the guy at the herp store said he had her about six months because he also had a baby as well but it wasnt an albino. so i took her. now you have me worried that im doing something wrong and stunted her growth lol should i soak her more often??? her substrate is moist, and i mist two to three times a day. once before work, as soon as i get home, and before bed.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
really??? i could do that? not that youd lie, just kinda amazing, ill give it a shot. and like i said maybe the guy at the herp shop didnt have her for that long....
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
Its nothing you did or are doing. The pet store more than likely didn't provide enough nutrition when he/she was a baby. Which can stunt their growth. A 13 month old Pacman is an adult. 10 months still allows for 2 more months to have a growth spurt hit. So there is still time if he/she is male or female and is 10 months old to grow.
Even as adults though they still grow. Just at a slower rate.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
Yep. If she is a he and you play some Pacman calls he should respond.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
ok so its official... drum roll please..............................IT'S A BOY! lol
yea so he croaked back. i replayed the video and all was silent, so i found another video that was louder. he started croaking for sure! so looks like the dorothy will forever be shortened to dotty or Dot now lol.
oh and to anser your question iim not exactly sure how big he vent to snout. i will measure tomorrow maybe in the morning when shes lol when he is out. hey atleast hes never barked at me so i must not piss him off too much.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
Congrats its a boy Lol!. Well now you know for sure. Dot is a good name. Yeah he likes you if you've never been growled/hissed/or snapped at. That means he trusts you. And is used to you.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
Really nice looking boy you have there..
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
why thank you bart. he really is beautiful, those pics dont do any justice. i wanna take some video of him croaking now, gotta just wait for the right time....
so grif, and anyone else wondering... i measured Dot, he is between 3 and 3 1/2. i took some pictures of the measurement and they all look a little different do to the angle of the camera. so i am going to go inbetween and say my Dot is 3 1/4 of an inch-- 3 and a qrtr.
the pictures are on my wife's phone ( to get a better quality picture) so i will post those pics when i get them from her phone....
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
Take a good look at the insides of his "Thumbs"....Nuptual Pads should be showing by this size/age.
This is a photo of two of our male's Nuptual Pads.....first one is a green, second is an albino male.
Re: crappy pic... but can we get a gender?
theres no way that my frog has black on his feet at all. not one bit. hes albino so it would stick out.
o.k so why do i have a croaking pacman with no black nuptuals???
