Know your animal

Read the species care guide below, then talk to our team about the right enclosure and feeding routine.

The Blue Samurai Pacman frog is a colour form of Cranwell’s horned frog. Its broad mouth and rounded shape belong to an ambush predator that often waits partly buried in the substrate. Blue-green colour varies with the individual, age and conditions.

At a Glance

Origin Species native to South America; Blue Samurai is a selectively bred colour form.
Adult size Around 8–15 cm body length; females are usually larger.
Lifespan Often 8–12 years with appropriate care.
Temperament An observation animal with a strong feeding response.
Social needs Always house individually.

Housing & Setup

Enclosure dimensions are length × depth × height. Plan for the adult animal and provide more space wherever possible.

Adult housing At least 60 × 45 × 45 cm for one adult, prioritising floor area. Provide a secure, ventilated lid.
Temperature Daytime gradient around 24–28°C; night around 20–24°C. Avoid overheating and use thermostat-controlled heating.
Moisture Maintain roughly 60–80% humidity, with soft, evenly damp substrate that is never flooded or stagnant.
Substrate A pesticide-free soil/coco blend deep enough to burrow fully. Avoid gravel, abrasive surfaces and loose pieces that may be swallowed.
Lighting & water A gentle day/night cycle and suitable low-level UVB with deep shade. Use amphibian-safe conditioned water for misting and a very shallow dish with an easy exit.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Never keep with another frog or smaller animal; it may attempt to eat a tank mate. Avoid routine handling. For essential movement, use clean damp powder-free gloves or a suitable container.

Feeding & Nutrition

Offer a varied selection of appropriately sized gut-loaded insects and safe feeder earthworms. Growing frogs need smaller, more frequent meals; adults require measured portions to avoid obesity. Dust prey with an appropriate calcium/multivitamin routine matched to UVB provision. Use feeding tongs and avoid fingers near the mouth.

Routine Care

Remove waste and uneaten prey promptly. Renew water daily and monitor temperature, substrate moisture and body condition. Do not force a frog into prolonged dry dormancy. Seek an exotics vet for abnormal skin, bloating or persistent refusal to feed.

Important Before Buying
