Lepidodactylus lugubris and vocalization

[Nicke]

Any of you guys out there know if L lugubris is making some kind of "chittering" sound? I heard that kind of noise in my reptile room this evening and the only animals I have that could possibly do something like that would be the L lugubris but since I´ve never heard or read anything about it I´m a little surprised.

yup! I once thought it would be cool to keep them in my room instead of my herp room, back when I had a tiny herp room, bad idea. Kept me up for hours. Little clicks and chattering like crazy.

OK. Thanks. Good to know it´s not my ears fooling me due to old age or something :wink:

Really funny actually. The last time I heard such noises were in the Philippines, but I thought it was the Hemidactylus or Cosymbotus I saw that were the culprits. Maybe there were some L lugubris among them as well......

My two never shut up :lol: They're in seperate tanks but they shout at each other from across the room! Funny when I'm not trying to get to sleep...

Well, these chattering sounds have never kept me awake and my Ll population is out-of-control, like say easily over 100!! In fact I like their vocalizations, day and night!!

It's the chirping crickets that keep me awake and usually need relocating so that I can sleep.

Is the vocalization perhaps connected to the animals reaching sexually maturity? I didn´t hear a sound from them until a week ago but now I hear it every time I´m in my reptile room. Any suggestions?
