My Big-eyed tree frogs (pic heavy)

[Peakone]

Hey guys!

In this topic ill be adding pictures of my big-eyed tree frogs (leptopelis vermiculatus). The frogs were 2, but one of them (named Groggy) is sick - it's leg is swollen. There are no herpetologists in Bulgaria so noone can help the poor little guy. Although its doing good for now. The other frog - Bambina, was really healthy, active and very curious every time i make arrangements in their viv, but it suddenly died without any reasons. The previous night the frog was fine, even got fed and in the morning i found it dead

Here are the pictures i promised.

Bambina:

Hey I have a question for you did you separate the frogs once you realized the first one was sick?

[Peakone]

To be honest i did not, because at first i thought it could be trauma. Later i realized it can not be trauma, because the frog uses its leg normally and that was confirmed by a vet. Unfortunately he could not help more, because amphibians are not in his specialisation and there are no herps in Bulgaria at all.

Fellow terrarists suggested that this could be a parasite, but since there is noone who can actually diagnose the problem we cant take a treatment... I just soak the frog in distilled water every day for 5-10mins to pull out possible toxins.

Distilled water isn't good for frogs as the water is so pure it can cause the frog to lose electrolytes making it weak and susceptable to more germs and infection.

Wow! That is an awesome frog, just beautiful!
Where did you find a frog like this? Because every big eye tree frog I've seen is one solid green color, I have never seen one that looks like yours.

As far as i know this species is from the mountains in Tanzania where the water is close to pure and i just soak it for few mins, because of the distilled water's abilities to pull out toxins. Nothing more. But i might be wrong.

Thanks! When i got them i was pretty amazed of the color as well They are imported from either Czech republic or Netherlands, not sure.
