Since they're secretive and the males don't display territorial dominance, wouldn't it be logical they only vocalize during breeding season in the right weather conditions? That's weird if they do vocalize in Test C for the different type of genres of music though.

I really think you should write up a care sheet proposal on these guys, not only was your introduction concise and legible... It also got me interested in the project even though I'm not very fond of these frogs. Even though they're not very popular in the pet trade and not readily available; I still think it would be a cool care sheet to read over and get information on this secretive species. There's always room for more, right? Like for another pacman maybe for you to do a vocalization experiment with them.

Anyways, good job... Ready to hear the results.
Thank you Mark! Hehe, I tend to have a contagious effect on others when I get to talking about experiments and frogs .

That's I thought! I know and I would really like to carry out Test C, I just have to check a couple things with the local ADF&G (Alaska Department of Fish&Game) office about my permit submission, before I carry it out. Music seemingly has a weird effect on frogs, other than the fact that it can make them vocalize. Just the other day, my Wood frogs' activity levels increased greatly due to an change in the tank's humidity. They were so active, that I was afraid they would hurt themselves by continuously hopping into the terrarium glass too many times. My sister was joking and said that maybe if she put on some soft piano music, that they would calm down. When she played the music, can you guess what happened.......they all settled down and one of them even croaked !

Yup, there's always room for one more! Actually, I have had several users on here suggest that I write up a proposal and I'm currently working on one .

I'll definitely let you know the results!! Thanks again!
