Samurai Blue Pacman Frog (Ceratophrys cranwelli)
Blue is a genuinely rare color to find on an amphibian — most "blue" frogs and toads are working with structural color tricks in the skin rather than true blue pigment, and the Samurai Blue line was bred specifically to push that effect as far as it goes. The result is a Pacman frog that looks like it wandered out of a different color palette entirely, though its habits haven't changed one bit: bury, wait, strike, repeat.
Care level: Easy · Temperament: Solitary, will eat similarly-sized tankmates · Max size: ~4-6" · Min enclosure: 10 gal terrarium · Diet: Carnivore, appropriately-sized insects/rodents
