Measure its size. For most species of frog, males are noticeably smaller than females. Tree frogs generally range from 1-5.5 inches (3-14 centimeters) depending on the precise species.[1]. Females are typically about half an inch longer and slightly heavier than males of the same species.

When the frog isn't croaking, the deflated sac may make the skin on the throat seem more thin and baggy than on female frogs.[3]
In addition, the skin of the vocal sac will often be a different color than the rest of the underside. Yellowish or black shades are common.

These discs are sometimes (but not always) a different color than the skin around them. Male frogs tend to have ears that are larger than their eyes. By contrast, female frogs tend to have ears that are about the same size as their eyes (or slightly smaller.....
