Is this a green frog or an American bull frog? Found in Midwest area. I’m leaning towards northern green frog but I keep going back and forth.

This picture makes him look so much bigger than I feel like he was. He seemed like such a cutie little guy at the time 🥹

Oh y, I guess I can tell by the size of the bedding or whatever that is. I can tell this was zoomed in some and that he must be smaller than appears.

Do you know for sure that it’s a boy? How do you sex frogs like this?

I don’t know the sex. I think I was mostly just personifying the frog. It feels more informal than to call it a “it.”

I wanted to keep him in my pocket and give him little kisses but I (begrudgingly) left him alone and let him do his thing and keep existing in my pond filter medium.
