Sick Red Eyed Tree Frog?

[flybyferns]

Has anybody seen this type of dark colouration under the legs, arms and side of belly before on a red eyed tree frog .. You can see it in the pictures I've put up, it's noticable when he's pressed up against the glass .. I haven't come across any pictures on line of this dark colour before but that's not to say it's uncommon ... If anybody thinks this looks unusual please let me know because I'm very worried about my new baby ..

kimmy,
There is really no rush to change the substrate. The paper towel is serving its purpose. Just keep it clean.
Change it when he is sleeping so he is not disturbed.
For now your able to monitor feeding and pooping more closely.

Continue to include a shallow water dish-change water daily, as heather and I post earlier. ( bottled spring water- just rinse, dry w/ paper towel , no soap)

Remember , put new crickets in each night before he wakes up. And remove uneaten food in the morning after he goes back to sleep.
The uneaten crickets can just go back into the cricket keeper.

cricket size: the cricket should fit between his eyes- smaller in better than larger if you are not sure. -----

I'm afraid the belly photos are difficult to make out.
However the other - top view- he looks good!
One of my red eyes have a bit of darker coloration around the belly.
If he happens to be on the glass - I'll get a pic and post it.
We can compare.

Maybe you could get another pic of the belly some point, with out waking him.
I use a flashlight at night for pics.

How long is he? snout to bum

Is he pooping ?
