Hi I am new to the forum, I am honestly new to amphibians to a sense but not to reptiles, I have large reptiles. (my site www.freewebs.com/travisparkersreptiles) I am in need of knowing the sex or ways of sexing cane toads i read a article on the form about sexing. I have two cane toads both about the size of your hand. I have heard if it "churps" when you pick it up its a male, and if it doesn't its a female, I do have one that curps loud. The other one is silent. the quite one is bigger, however they was not raised together so unsure on the age, Can I send some pictures for visual sexing, like of the fingers?
Thanks in advance Travis |

Only thing I've heard was from Boronnia a couple years back, they're an Aussie based aquatic specialist, apparently the females do get a fair bit larger than the males and can look darker or smoother.
I believe there's a chap on here who's quite good with canes, but it's a quiet forum so a definite answer may take another day or 2.

I think you've got it nailed really- females are rounder, bigger and quiet. Males are a little smaller but will call.
Males should get nuptial pads during breeding season, so pictures of fingers may help.
Don't think there's anyother visual things you can pick up really. |
