    Default Need some guidance with my tomato frog

    I have had my tomato frog for about 4 months roughly. She has been a blessing never had any problems with her, always ate and looked very alert. The passed three or fours days the color on her back has turned white, Her back is normally orange. The white color started on her back and is now on her legs and arms. I will get pictures up today or tomorrow. If it gets worse than this I think I'll have to bring her into the vet. She still is eating and soaking and moving the same. I have her in the upper 70s during the day and low 70s at night and I keep her humidity up as well. Her diet is mostly crickets and earthworms. Any advice at all would help!

    Thanks,
    Greg

    I've never heard of this. Could be stress for some apparent reason causing the color change, but I'm pointing more fastest skin irritation like an infection from bacteria or fungi.

    I've never heard or seen this either so that is why I'm posting it up. What would someone recommend me do if its an infection from either or?

    You could swab the skin and send it to a Herp Vet for testing. That should tell if its some sort of infection. Are you using lights?? If so what kind of bulb?

    I do and I don't use lights, if its a little chilly I will, but if the tank is in the upper 70s I usually don't use it. I use 15 watt bulbs.
