My frog wants to fight or mate with my herpstat
I've yet been unable to get this on video, but it is hilarious.
In my swamp tank I've got a bunch of reed frogs living in the pothos and the marshy land area. I got them young and they're just starting to get big enough for a few of them to be calling.
The unidentified species I've got in there have some pretty weird calls, especially one that sounds like a funky mechanical blip noise, almost like a digitized version of two marbles hitting each other, if that makes any sense.
Adjusting my humidity on my herpstat one day as the frog was calling, I realized it was actually responding to the beeps the herpstat was making as I navigated the menu. So I started pushing buttons, imitating the rhythm of his call, and he'd do it back at me. For this reason, I've decided to leave the sound on the unit unmuted, haha.

OK so MAAAAYBE it isn't. But there are parts where it seems like it.
Sorry for long video and my girlfriend kinda messes it up at the end.
And I realize it's dark, but even if I'd installed the moon lights which I wanna put in, if you approached the tank close enough to really get a clear shot of one of the frogs, they usually stop calling. So you'll just have to take my word that this is esoteric and weird enough of a thing that I wouldn't fake it, haha.

Re: My frog wants to fight or mate with my herpstat
That's pretty cool. It sounds like the frog is making "clicks" in response. Is that about right or is the frog call getting distorted?

Yeah it's a weird click. Like the first few times I heard it I was worried it was something hitting the glass of the aquarium, it's a very odd sound. Some of the others in there sound slightly different, but I think they're younger, so this guy calls the most frequently.
