Does my frog have redleg?

[Sajuuk Khar]

There is a very slight redness throughout the body and under the throat. This redness was never there before. I also see a slightly red spot in the middle of the throat that is worse than the rest of the body.

I have attached photos, does it look like redleg?

Keep in mind he never used to have this redness, and the pictures are actually a bit better than in person, I think its more clear in person how much redness there is.

ill be real it does look like a redness but it honestly seems more pink and not like the photos ive seen of "red leg" but is showing other signs of red leg?

His behavior is the same as before, just the extra redness that I dont know whats causing it.

Hey, how cold is the glass underneath the substrate? I find when my guys burrow right down to the glass and sit there for a few days if the glass is really cold it makes them under side look red/pinkish. Have you noticed if he stays up for a bit it goes away?

If he is acting normally, I'm more inclined to believe the pinkness is irritation of some kind. Redleg is actually a symptom of different kinds of infection in a frog, so the likelihood of him presenting redleg and no other symptoms is very unlikely.

I am not sure how cold the glass is, I have heat pad underneath but I am not using it. Perhaps I should hook it back up again. I assume the glass is colder than room temp. I do heat up the whole room for them so not sure how cold the glass is. I am going to hook up a probe and find out.

He has been underground for about a month and half. so maybe thats why its irritating his skin? He hasnt come out and sat on top so I cant see if the redness goes away.

I do have an orante who is doing the same thing (underground for a month) but when I check him he has no redness at all.

It is not red leg, but pre-red leg stadium. Bath it in water, change substrate, make tank clean. Red-leg is caused by overgrowth of microflora of frogs skin, caused by not clean enough tanks or overpopulation of frogs, like in case of my Trachycephalus nigromaculatus frogs. It is harmless at this stage, just showing you need to do a better cleaning.
