Being sold as a giant?

[GrifTheGreat]

Looks like a female GABF with some very unique coloring. Doesn't look much like a male Giant and yellow coloring is not an exact science for sexing these frogs. Male Dwarfs do tend to have alot of yellow on the chest and arm pits. The head is a decent size, but most male GABFs. Don't have full yellow throats.

I'd like to know the size SVL of the frog and age before giving a definite answer. If it is a Dwarf it is a male.

Thanks, Grif.

The seller doesn't list SVL but states that the frog weighs 1.4 lbs and is 2 years old.

Hi,

Nice frog.
Its a male dwarf. I have the same frog. Males of this P. Edulis species can get 6-7 ich long. Mine is now 7 inch but is stop growing now.

The seller is defending his stance that this is a true giant, as it was purchased from Frog Ranch.
I have sent him a link and invited him to join this discussion if he pleases.

I thought he claimed adspersus? This would be a good one for FC BOI, DW.
