    Default arghhh, dark spot looks worse!

    ok so originally this started out as a dark spot which i thought was to do with shedding but now its gone white and today its goin dark around the edges. sorry about the picture quality but i think u can kinda see what i mean, does anyone know what this is or if its normal (well semi normal). any input would b great. cheers guys. first pic is how it looked last week. others r from last night

    Not sure what it is but it is definitely not normal. I have never seen either of my White's tree frogs shed, and I'm not sure that they do that. Maybe wait for a more experienced member to reply, but my guess is that your little buddy is going to need to see a vet.

    well iv seen my other frog oki shedding (sort of). not willow tho. oki had a dark spot like this aswell but i dont ever rememeber it goin white (maybe it did i just dont remember). ever since wen its near sheddin time, where the dark spot was (it does go back to normal) it goes dark first. it seems to b lookin better as tho it is healing but im just unsure of what it is. i did have a wooden tunnel in there but iv took it out incase there were any sharp bits she may have caught it on. shes acting fine. shes still eatin loads, jumpin around, fully active and just generaly bein her normalself

    Any chance this frog got up against a light bulb?
    It definitely is not normal and should be looked at by an experienced Herp Vet.

    They're in an exo terra with a canopy on top so they haven't touched the bulb. I think it has a repti glo 10.0 uvb bulb. There is a lil 'dip' in the background where they sometimes sit which is right at the top under the light but no way they r touchin the bulb. Iv checked the wood tunnel and there's no sharp bits so its not from that. Can anyone suggest anythin I can do at home? Like I say she's actin fine. It doesn't seem to bother her. Thanks

    Does the skin give you the idea it is somewhat loose?
    And does he fold it's legs underneath when at rest? Or a little bit apart from the body?
