That might be your problem, your frog is always in humid conditions. mine was in pretty dry substrate for a couple weeks before i changed everything out with luk-warm humid and very damp substrate. i have read that these frogs go threw a dry season then they emerge in the first rains croaking like crazy. i dont know if they croak like crazy the whole wet season. maybe try a little dry time and then bring the wet. i hope this works for you. it is cool to hear them. they are a weird sounding eating machines

Lot of things at play that weren't mentioned that could have contributed. Keeping them in constant high humidity probably does have something to do with it. My dude has never been below 65%. Pretty sound logic on that point Matt. I haven't heard a peep either. I did hear the "juvi croak" when he was young, but I couldn't even be sure it was him.f

Also, I'm pretty sure your frog isn't 5 inches.....lol I'd guess three. Lets get a tape on him and more pics!!!!

right know he is 4.75 inches, it is hard to get a picture of it. the tape measure is litterally almost touching him but i cant get the picture to get it, the last time i measured him was when he was sprawled out and just straight chillin. he is ready to eat right know so he isnt as chill. like i had said before, he would eat me if he could. "Honey i shrunk the kids" movie would have been very short if a pixie was in it!

[mattfish]

It sounds like your onto something matt, since I rely on a fogger 90% of the time for humidity, I don't spray often. When I do spray, it makes the ground quite a bit more wet, than using the fogger (obviously.) That's when I have had more vocalization from my guy.

and how do I get him to shut up? haha He keeps me up some nights croaking the night away.
