Are males bigger or smaller that females? When can they start breeding?

thanks

I believe the females are larger. If they are like all other tree frogs they aren't sexually mature until a year of age and mate from early spring to mid summer.

they must be around full size, the female will be biger, the males will croak(females can croak also), the males will have nupital pads in the breeding season.

In general, they are sexually mature at one year old, the males are smaller than the females, and aside from croaking male Greens can have yellowish to greenish-yellow shading on their throats. Hope this helps!

Females tend to be larger and thicker, more heavy set. Males usually have a creamy coloured throat and the skin looks looser. The male will croak and call. The female will sometimes emit a noise, but it's more of a grunt than a call.

Males will also have nuptial pads but sometimes these are a bit hard to see.
