Green Treefrog (Hyla cinerea) questions

[UncleChester]

I have no idea if they are social, but because my pair (male/female) were together at the petstore for over a year, I was offered a 2 for 1 deal and I couldn't pass it up. They don't necessarily interact, but they don't totally avoid each other either. Last night was the first night I actually got a pic of them together in the water dish.

I've said that my grays basically treat each other as inanimate furniture, it sounds like greens are the same way.

Finally, Elton, my male, is LOUD! He does not call as frequently as my PCF, but when he does, he easily drowns out Yoki, the FBTs in the kitchen, and has woken up the house on one occassion.

Nice. I know you haven't had them long, but is Eltons singing reliable? Does misting set him off during the day, or is he only a night time singer? (actually same questions for Yoki for interests sake)

Thanks!

I honestly don't think Aroha or Elton would care if the other was there or not. It's more amusing for me to have the two of them though, as they are fairly active one it is night and I enjoy watching them.

I have only heard Elton at night, and that was after a fairly heavy misting. The first night was the day I brought them home and I can't even be sure it was him or Yoki mumbling to himself. But the other night, there was no mistaking it was Elton. He seemed to be responding to Yoki, who started calling first, but was easily drowned out. Yoki will call any time, day or night. Most of the time, he makes hiccuping, half calls, like he's complaining or talking to himself, but the night he got Elton going, he was doing a full mating call at the top of his vocal range. I actually recorded it and put it on my Facebook, and the recording does not do it justice at all. Yoki, for his size, can cause a slight ringing if he keeps it up long enough-the two of them together was deafening!

I have no idea how to attach the video/recording here, otherwise I would post if for you to listen too. Elton has only called for sure once in the two weeks I've had him; Yoki calls pretty much every day at some point or another....a good cricket meal can keep him going on and off for several hours!!
