It isn't easy to tell whether or not a toad is a male or female if you are not very familiar the species. In http://wiki.answers.com/q666293.html, species vary in sexual characteristics. Therefore, there is no set rule that applies to all kinds of http://wiki.answers.com/Animals/Wildlife/Amphibians/Toads/. However, there are some general traits to look for. Your toad may have some of the following characteristics, but probably not all of them.

Males may have vocal sacs. The males may also have pads on the outer edge of the thumb. These are roughened areas which help the male to grip during breeding. Males may also have muscled forearms for gripping. As well, males can have a number of glands on the body. Males may also have rougher Answers.com than females. Another male characteristic is a visible spine. As well, in many species male and female Answers.com are different sizes and colours.

It is easiest to distinguish between males and females by looking at an example of both. You could check with your local http://wiki.answers.com/q790725.htmlhttp://wiki.answers.com/q781137.htmlfor more help on identifying the sex of your toad.
