    Default White stuff PLEASE HELP!

    So, one of my toads seems to be having some problems. A few days ago he had white on his nose, so we moved him to his own place. Then he looked better so we put him back with the others. Then my fiance was watching them and noticed that there were little white bits and strands coming off of him and his nose is discoloured. When he jumped in to the water it seemed to all be coming off then.

    Please help!!!

    Is there any white mold located within their enclosure? Look on the wood if you have. Any in there or on any moss you might have in there? His nose could also be discolored from jumping into the glass causing a bruise. The srands are shed skin.

    I know mold is bad, but could this white mold make them sick?

    If it gets out of hand and starts to attack your frogs yes! Amphibians are highly suceptable to fungul infection due to their skin needing lots of moisture and the climate in which they live in. if you have white mold growing within the enclosure you should dispose of it. A little on the wood is part of woods natural process of decay. It is fine as long as it doesn't start to grow in overwhelming amounts. So I guess you're saying that yes there is white mold growing in their enclosure?
