Pacman Sexual Maturity Question

Frogger1985 Sep 28, 2004 10:46 PM

I have a young pacman frog that i bought mid September. I was wondering how old or big the frogs usually are when they start showing signs that they are going to be males or females? How long does it usually take them to be full size?

Thanks

I got my female about a year and a half ago. She was about half her full size then, and is around 4.5 inches now, which is her maximum size. Since I am not sure how old she was when I bought her, though, I cannot tell you exactly how long it takes them to grow from baby to adult. Maybe someone who's actually raised one from baby to adult can help here.. I geuss I cheated when I bought a subadult.

They reach sexual maturity at around 18-24 months. Males will usually start calling at a year, give or take. If the frog gets over 4 inches, chances are that is a female, though I had a large male that was about ~4.
