Ok, so i have two African clawed frogs and theyre about a year old, however i recently left for uni and let my parents take care of them whilst i was away, on my return for the christmas break i noticed on of my frogs has small faint spots all over his back (theyre both albino) and the other does not. I change their water every week use ammonia stopper solution and safe tap water solution - their tank is always clean. He eats perfectly fine and moves around as normal, there is no change in his behaviour however im worried as he did not have this before and the other one doesnt have it. could it be a disease?! being at uni makes it hard for me to be able to give him the right treatment and time he needs if so
i will post a photo later
PLEASE HELP!

Hi arianwin, as long as your frog is eating and active he should be fine (I've never seen this in
clawed frogs before though), is it possible to get a picture of the spots on their back?

This is the best one I can get right now! Notice the black ish spots on him

Im sorry ariawin, I have no idea what those black dots are! this is the website that
i was searching on for the black freckles All About African Clawed Frogs, I
know that this same thing happens in leusistic axolotls but not to this extent.

There's seemingly nothing wrong with this frog. I would carry on as normal.

There's seemingly nothing wrong with this frog. I would carry on as normal.

I agree with Michael's observation and will add that it's probably just random pigmentation that's manifested itself now that the frog's attained adulthood.

[Gemma]

I agree with the others. He looks fine. In fact he looks just like one of mine who I thought was plain albino up until he was probably about 10 months old when he developed similar black patterns on his back. I wouldn't worry about it.

I'd say the same. Those black blotches doesn't look like anything harmful or parasitic (yet). Have you given it anything alive recently? Probably just some congenital marks that show up later in life though rarely does it happen to albinos
