    Default RETF possible fungal infection?????? PLEASE HELP

    Hey guys I have been away from the forum for a couple months now everything was going good with my enclosure so i decided to upgrade! I just acquired a much bigger terrarium than before and the animals are adjusting very well. However, I woke up this , morning and saw these white dots and vertical lines on my red eye. Is this a fungal infection, and if not what do you guys think it is? She is still very active at night and still has a hungry appetite. I know it is hard to see in photos but Please help!!!

    I don't know what that is and I can't tell really clearly from the picture. It looks like ordinary skin texture from here, but if there really are white dots and lines, you should probably get that checked out by an exotic vet if at all possible.

    When I had RETFs I had 2 thank had white dots on them. They didn't have any infection or anything and were very healthy. I think it is a normal thing. But definitely keep a eye on it!

    okay, so i learned the white dots are normal and she probably had them the whole time but these horizontal wavy-like lines are giving me some concern. Here is a photo of what my red eye tree frog looks like on its back. However this is not my specific red eye and a picture I found on google. If anyone can help me identify what this is it would be greatly appreciated.

    A lot of RETFs have white dots and white lines on them but if her behavior and appetite is normal then that's a good sign. I would just keep an eye on her for a while and if her behavior changes or if the lines stand out more or if more lines seem to appear then I would take her to the vet to get checked out.
