enzoom1 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Which of the two are quieter and what size terrarium would suite each one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varanophile Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 whistlers are very, very loud...bell are still loud. Whistlers are very cryptic and strictly nocturnal, bells are more diurnal. Tank size similar, 3 foot by 2ft by 2 foot good, but extra height good for whistlers as they climb more. Also whistlers do best with a mainly non aquatic set up- plants etc. Bells can be heated to make them more active but whistlers prefer cool as they are from tasmania. You would prob. live in the trees too if there were tasmanian devils about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidb Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 the chirping of the Whistling tree frogs is nice- I have had 20 of them in a 5ft by 2ft by 2ft tank in my room before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
