Help sexing my azureus.

[jchollenb]

Around 20 months old and no calling, thought male for the longest time. Absence of calling has made me wonder. This was my first frog so I have no experience in sexing. Thanks for your help

Looks like a possible male.

Looks like a male to me.

It is possible that you haven't heard any calling because tincs have very quiet calls so any background noise would make it inaudible.

So it may be a silly question, but again i dont have much experience with frogs, but is it abnormal for a frog not to call by this age if it is a male?

My 2 females have much smaller toe pads, leaving me to believe that yours is a male.

Calling is for courtship and attracting a mate. If he is by himself who is going to hear the call?

[jchollenb]

very true, just thought they might call to attract a mate even if one cant be seen.

Definite male.
BTW, you should introduce another, azureus do best in pairs.

Thats a big part of why I am trying to figure out sex. He is a lonely fella and id love to find a companion for him.
