Question about croaking

[spencerfish98]

The whole deal is that my dad is tired of my crickets chriping that I feed to my geckos. My parents simply told me that it can not make any noise that might make them up. Also it will be living in my room so I dont really want to be woken up.

crickets are the most annoying which is why i keep them in my garage. The frogs however are each over a year and I have only hear two calls. it wasnt enough to wake me up.

I appreciate the help but others have told me that the croaking of a male will inevitably happen, (above). When they do croak how often, how loud, and how long.

well like I said before, I have never heard a pacman frog call but I do have a bullfrog that does. it is short. My bullfrog has only done one at a time. It is a deep and low croak, it almost sounds human. it scared me the first time I heard it because it was pitch black in my room. it is not continuous and he isnt loud. he could get louder as he gets older but it is nowhere as loud as the western toads we have in northern CA. My advice would be to not get one just because it might just take one time for your parents to tell you to get rid of it. my parents' rule is "nothing with fangs"

My plan: Find a female that is confirmed. I know how to take care of it whether it is an albino or not. At least I think. Albinos can not have very bright, powerful bulbs which I will use to heat the tank with a 5.5 inch flukers clamp with a exo terra heat glo if it albino and an exo terra daylight if it is non albino. All will tell after the reptile show this weekend.

you should read this forum before you get high hopes of a female

My male Cody calls fairly loud. It's generally pretty random, but he calls most frequently right after being misted or fogged and about 30 minutes after lights out. When he calls, it's usually 4 very short calls before he pauses a while. He usually does 2-5 sets of calls (sometimes longer at night) until he stops calling. He calls on average of 0-2 times a day, depending on his temperament, and depending on when I fed him last. Some nights he calls 8 or 9 different times. He lives in my bedroom, and his calls are loud enough to wake me up sometimes.

Most people I ask say that you aren't likely to hear a female from the other room, and that they usually don't make noises unless someone is bothering them. I think a female would be fine. If your bedroom is near a family room, chances are they will be able to hear a male Pacman Frog call.
