I have a Whites but I'm not sure what sex. I've heard croaking maybe twice in 2 years, but it may have been another frog...

3yr old Whites Tree Frog (Large)

Don't know whether anyone knows some other way of checking?

I think that the croaking is the most reliable way to tell. My female has never ever croaked but the two males I have croak occasionally - so if it has croaked in the past then it is probably male.

You could try downloading Whites Tree croaks from the internet to see if you get any response when played to your frog

The problem is that if you only have one of these frogs then it will be tricky as you have nothing to compare the toe pads or throat with.

I tried that with my three males and it never worked. A loud hoover or certain types of music used to set them off.

Yeah I find that me talking loudly, a passing motorbike, a kettle boiling and heavy rain seem to do the trick.

jim123 it looks like a female. Check if it has darkish bits on the top of the thumbs, if you can see no contrast at all it's most probably a female. And the fact that it's 4" swings it towards female too.
