A representative of this species is also called a decorated slingshot or italy. In nature, these amphibians are not too bright, but those bred in captivity have a variety of colors. Cranwell's slingshot frog belongs to the family of toothy toads, it is voracious, sleeps with its eyes open - quite funny to keep in a home terrarium. Decorated slingshots are of impressive size, females are much larger than males. The length of the body of the female reaches 17 cm, and the male - 12 cm. Despite such noticeable dimensions, it is almost impossible for a person to see them in nature - they lead a secretive lifestyle. Even victims of slingshots do not always notice the enemy. When hunting, these frogs burrow into foliage, moss, and silt, merging with them in color, and patiently wait for their potential “dinner” for a long time. The slingshot frog requires a horizontal terrarium for keeping in captivity (at least 40 liters for one individual) measuring 45 x 30 x 30 cm. The height of the lamp must also be taken into account. In the terrarium, it is necessary to install internal daytime heating - equip it with a thermal mat or a thermal cord. Place an incandescent lamp or a mirror lamp on top. The optimum temperature at the heating point during the daytime will be 30-32°C. The average temperature throughout the terrarium is 25°C during the day, 22-24°C at night. In the artificial housing of the slingshot, it is necessary to arrange a landscape close to natural: put snags there to get more shelters, hang ampels - live or artificial. Suspended - because a slingshot will dig anything out of the ground, these are burrowing frogs. They eat small invertebrates, amphibians, and reptiles. They even eat birds and mammals. That is, they swallow everything that runs past and can fit in the jaws. Sometimes they can even eat a relative. When kept at home, slingshots are given banana and house crickets to eat, American marble cockroaches are suitable, they are often fed with zoophobas, flour worms, as a delicacy - freshly hatched quail chicks, frogs and newborn mice.
