I have noticed some recent strange behavor from my FBT's (orientalis) These are the first Frogs that I have ever owned, I have had them for about a year. They are well taken care of, or so I think. I have 5 total in a 40 Long semi aquatic. The Temp in thier enclosure is kept between 72 Deg (F) and 79 Deg (F) and thier daily appitite is common crickets. Just recently, within the last 3 weeks they have started climbing to the top screen, sometimes they even will just hang and just dangle from thier two front feet. I have never noticed this before, is this common or considered strange?
They are eatting well and seem very happy to me.
I apologize for the poor quality of the photos but you get the idea.
Fire belly toads are no doubt mini acrobats able to climb straight up the glass, im
not sure why he would be dangling from the screen though, try covering three sides
of the terrarium, it looks like they want to go exploring outside the tank!

Thanks for your quick reply and input, back and both sides are covered. They do seem to be explorers for sure, was just wondering if anyone thinks this is a concern?

My guys often do things similar to this if they take notice to a fly, moth or some quick movement outside their enclosure. They have also done it if a grasshopper or cricket somehow managed to avoid detection at the initial feeding and stode itself in the lip of the tank...
Mine do it as well
to me you tank looks a bare i would put a lot more hides and plants in
Really? You think its too bare ? Heres a picture of my tank...I think the pictures you were looking at are simply just the top of my running Waterfall and not the whole tank. I have a great deal of hides and little caves with plants....Im sorry the picture came out so dark, I need more?
My boy does this a bit he likes to climb the leaves I have up
