    I understand that but still Id like to have one of each ya know the edulis are nice frogs I hate that people miss label them when it's so easy to distinguish the 2 but I don't think that's a reason to shove them out if the trade

    I'm getting some wild caught adults this week. If they are healthy I might breed them within a month or so. Have to wait til all the pacman tadpoles are out of the water.

    I don't think the dwarfs will be leaving the pet trade anytime soon. It is likely that people who sell them cannot tell the difference between the two species. As juveniles, there are only subtle differences between the giants and the dwarfs. Believe it or not, some scientists believe that the giant and the dwarf are just subspecies.

    They have very distinct difference as froglets and I don't frilly fear them leaving the trade was just making a point

    I find they also have noticeable differences as frogletts and most defiantly as adults.

    Why have they plagued the scene does no one like them? I love mine and he loves the company of my female giant.

    For being pretty rare my LFS sells them as giants even though they are not so I can usually pick one up if I ever wanted another.

    The reference to them being a plague comes from mislabeling them as Adspersus; either out of ignorance or with the intent to mislead in order to make a sale.
