    Default Red Eyed Tree Frog - white haze on eye, looks like catarax?

    Just noticed today that my 4 year old RETF has a white haze over almost all of 1 eye and part of the other. Has this ever happened to anyone? I searched but turned up no results. I'm thinking it could be a mildew or fungus. Maybe something he picked up from the cage being dirty or a cricket that was infected with something... but really it looks like cataracts.

    Heres a photo he was nice enough to let me grab:

    The eye could be damaged, like you say. Frogs can get cataracts. From everything I've heard they aren't reversible, but I'm not certain about that. I've never heard of fungus doing that in such an obvious way, but I'm not an expert. Watch the frog and see how it acts- is it soaking all the time, is it not eating or moving normally? Are there patches of unshed skin? If the frog shows symptoms it might be fungus.

    Not really doing anything different. I'll feed him tomorrow and see how he's acting in beast-mode. The only thing i can think of lately is I had the window open for a few days near his tank but its not too cold out. I dont know, he seemed fine then all of a sudden this week that one eye is glazed over.
