She looks a lot like my old southern toad Tubby, who I had for 15 or more years. She was already an adult when I found her, so there's no telling how old she really was by the time she finally passed away. She was the largest toad I ever remember seeing in the wild (hence the name I gave her).

Wonderful job showing the difference between male and female toads! I'm assuming the chirping and nuptial pads apply to male cane toads as well?

@ ZD Exotics, While most mature male Cane Toads will have nuptial pads (unless there is some sort of defect), not all will chirp when grasped. I'm not 100% sure why this is, but this seems to be something unique to Cane Toads and related species. Here is a research article from 2019 describing this phenomenon in depth: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsbl.2019.0462

Thank you for the video! I have a question for you. I have a toadlet that is half the size of my thumb. It's underbelly and throat is all white. Does it take time for the color to show up for a male?

@Tammy Catinella, Yes it takes a while for the males to get the dark throats. If you feed them good they'll normally get the dark throats before the 6 month mark.

I wished you tested the chirping sound sexing on the female so we can know certainly that this is the way. As im sure ive heard my female toad chirp before. So please do an update please. Thanks

@dAVID kORESH, What species of Toad are you keeping? If it is a true Toad like American Toads, Southern Toads, Asian Common Toads, etc, the females should never chirp when handled.

I am with BejaminsExotics on this one. Females shouldn't chirp when handled. However if I remember correctly toads do have a bidder's organ and can change their sex depending on the environment.

Short version for Toads. If the throat is black and it chirps it's male! XD
