    Male Dwarfs can reach 7" SVL, but extremely rare. Most of the time yes they are around the same size as female Giants(5" to 5.5" SVL).

    lol mine eats a lot too, but 30 nightcrawlers should last her for a week, i think Grifs boy can easily eat that amount per feeding and the next day to beg for some more lol

    they are smaller = smaller tank, smaller $ for food, and they are more cute, when you see giant male all i can think of - wow what a monster, when you see dwarf- you think oh he is so cute IMHO

    In general terms they can be roughly the same size. Every now and then you come across the huge GABF female (6 in + SVL) or the huge DABF male (7 in. male). Have also seen tiny cute versions of both, including a full grown 2 year old P. edulis female that does not reach 4 in. SVL .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
