My white lipped tree frog has these funky lumps on its back, just above his legs, in a squiggly formation and are about an eighth inch wide or so. Within the last day his back is also turning from a bright beautiful green to a smoggy grayish brown. Otherwise he's eating and behaving as normal. Does anyone have any ideas?
Pictures. Are his eyes clear and is he sloughing? Also maybe a trip to the http://www.frogforum.net/general-dis...list-vets.html if you (or Kurt) deem it necessary.
Pics would help a lot.
Thanks for your quick responses!! Below is a link to some pics. As you can see he has fortunately turned back to his original color. I think he may have turned the brownish grey due to the fact that for the first time he was basking all day on the rock ledge just below the ceramic heat element which is set at a maximum temp of 83 degrees give or take. My dumpy usually inhabits this spot during the day with no ill side effects, but apparently he's willing to share now. I turned the thermostat setting down to about 80 degrees on the basking spot so I'll see what happens tomorrow.
I am still concerned about the lumps which appear to be abnormal, although the amateur I am I'm not sure. I've had him for about a month and I don't remember them being as numerous. Hopefully the pics will do justice. Thanks again!

His eyes are clear, no sloughing..
The first two bumps that are parralel are the tops of the pelvis. I do not know what the bumps behind them are. Could be a number of things, from infection to parasitic fly larva, or something I haven't even thought of. Either way I would get it checked out by a vet. (Tom, thats your cue) (Never mind, I see you already did it, I need to pay more attention. D'oh!)
Not sure how comfortable I am with housing these two frogs together, they are in the same genus and from the same part of the world, but they both do have skin toxins and I am not sure how bad they are.
Ok a couple of opservations (I am not used to this species (Kurt thats your cue)) But he seems underweight and his eyes seem red.
Litoria infrafrenata - family: Hylidae (treefrogs) subfamily Pelodryadinae (Australasian treefrogs) - native to northern Queensland and the island of New Guinea. Also known as the giant treefrog. How's that Tom?
He looks fine but I am concerned about the bumps on the hind quarters.
