    Default Croaking! WTF at odd hours of the early AM

    I am a new owner of a Male WTF 2.5in SVN.
    I loves to sing at odd times and without stimulation.
    But he will croak when someone or if you play the sound of a WTF croaking.

    I think it is great but at 3 am, This morning at 3:30 and at 4ish
    and very loudly. It woke me up even though I was wearing earplugs rated -30db.

    At the moment I have the hygrotherm set at 75%rh and 80F

    I have a thermal imager and I take his temp right before I go to bed.
    His body stays close to 80F and his eyes and nose are at 76F
    I will up load one of the images soon.

    I wonder if I set up the hygrotherm for a night time temp drop
    I just wonder how much of a drop.
    And if that will curtail some of his early am croaking LOL.
    His enclosure is in the bedroom, I would love to move it to the den
    but there is no room.
    The only place I could put it is too close to the HVAC return and too close the
    the thermostat. The heat from the heat lamp will inter fear with the house
    thermostat.

    My male has started croaking the last few nights. He also woke me up.

    Haven't got a Whites, but my tree frog now even croaks in the daytime.

    Mine tend to croak at sunrise. I have two males so they tend to feed off each other keep it going for a few minutes. Glurmo is really quiet when he croaks though... But Lrrr can make a croak echo through the whole bedroom. I have the same problem you do, I can't move them to the hallway where I want them because that's where the thermostat is and I use a ceramic heat emitter. I'm sure that would have an interesting impact on the heat in here.

    Now, I don't know if any of this will actually help the croaking, but the temp and humidity could use a little bit of adjusting. At night WTFs like a bit of a temp drop. I keep mine just below 80 degrees during the day and around 70-73 degrees at night. Their daytime humidity stays around 60% but at night with the temp drop it goes up to 70%. But my frogs do still croak at night sometimes so I don't think it will make much of a difference on that end, but he'll be more comfortable!
