    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?

    Ya i was told there was a bit in the tank. Is there a way to help prevent it. Also is there anything i can get to give the toad just in case he has the startings of a fungal infection?

    The mold and the frogs nose. Many tanks mold as part of the cycling process, Misting the mold a few times a day with RO or Distilled water can usually fight back some of the molding process.

    Usually this mold is only a light thin white covering on wood type items. I don't think it would transfer to the frogs face though. I could be wrong.

    The stuff coming off the nose should be shed since they shed pretty regularly but pics should help with determining the problem.

    There is a picture of this noise, and i circled the mold. There wasnt as much as my fiance was saying there was. His nose almost looks like it has mucus on it.
