    Default White spots on red-eyed tree frogs skin ?

    Someone left me a notification/comment after looking at my album photos. I apologize , I did not get back to that person.
    This person asked me if " are those white spots were blisters?"

    Answer: No - not blisters. These little white spots are normal pigmentation in their skin. Some RETF have none, a few or many.. One of my RETF has many. The # of spots should always remain the same ( like freckles) . Sometimes these white spots are confused with a disease called Oodinium. Oodinium is curable if caught early, and preventable if the tank is kept clean and stress free. ( ie such as too hot and too high a humitity level in the tank).
