I Heard My First Dart Frog Call!

Wow Jim, how thick is the glass on your terrariums? I've a room full of imitators and you can hear them anywhere on the ground floor. Hearing tincs is almost a talent though. I heard my first call about 2 months ago and I thought it was an electrical fault...

The Imitators are in a 27-gal hex with 1/4-inch glass. It's not real quiet around our place either (four teenage boys - usually with a couple extra hanging around), but now that I know what to listen for I should hear them more.

We have a couple of cricket frogs and when they first started calling, I thought the old Coralife light fixture fan was squeeking. Duh.

After listening to the recordings available, I guess I expected them to be a lot louder.

Hi Jim

My bet is they will get louder with age. Our Leucs are way louder than when they first started calling.
