    Default Sick Red Eyed Tree Frog?

    I may have a sick red eyed tree frog. I am new to amphibians and frogs and am very worried! Purchased it on saturday night. It has a small discolored spot its nose and is now splotchy all over.

    Whoa. I'm new to the species myself, but he/she doesn't look like s/hes doing well. That might be a vet visit no questions asked.

    As far as I know, that kind of green discoloration is often a sign of a bacterial disease/infection. I do not know how to treat it, but I advise taking it to a vet. Also, this article might be of good use:

    xjmav,
    ????
    I'm no vet.
    But I do not think that waiting is a good idea, at all !
    He really should be moved to a quarantine tank.

    Just wondering - What is he sleeping on?

    Posting pics of the the entire enclosure, info on exact temp and humidity etc. will really help to provide FF members additional information.
