    Default Sudden White Spots on RETF

    So my RETF has been acting very strange as of late and I am beginning to get very concerned. It started out with him sleeping at strange intervals, sometimes being awake during the day and sleeping at night. Over the past two days I have noticed that he has been sleeping with his legs stretched out and his body extended slightly from the leaves he has been sleeping on, which is very strange compared to the ways that i have seen him sleep in the past. The most concerning thing is that when I came home from class this evening, his skin is mostly a dark green but the lower half of his body is covered in lighter green speckles, which is really freaking me out. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated! And the sooner the better!

    Sounds possibly like a bacterial infection. Can you give some details as to how you're keeping him? Temperature, humidity, misting, water type and change intervals, vivarium decor, lighting type etc.?
