It's also worth saying that those "types" are recognized by the hobby, not by science.

Exactly, they're referred to simply as "dwarf," but there's much more to it than that.

It would be very interesting to see an extensive study done on finally categorizing these frogs, but I doubt that will happen any time soon. Africa does not do nearly as good a job in the taxonomy section as say South America.

Maybe some of the more experienced people on the forum could document the differences in peoples dwarves.

Ian,

In laymans terms, your guy would be considered a dwarf by most simply because it isn't a true giant. My P. adspersus is barely 3.5 months old and probably about the size of yours.
That's not saying that it isn't one of the rarer types.
He is a big fella though! Take lots of pictures for us
