    Default Has anyone seen this before? (RETF)

    Hello fellow Agalychnis callidryas keepers. As I was doing routine daily spot cleaning in the enclosure, I came across this leaf with white gooey stuff on it. I have absolutely no idea what it could be and this is the first time I saw it. He's up and active at night, eating like normal, and pooping. Just wanted to know if anyone has seen this before and if I should worry. It was only on that one leaf and I snipped that whole leaf off and threw it away. Here's a picture:

    I've never seen that before, but I'm certain that it's not from your frog. Looks a lot more like something that's coming from the plant, or perhaps some insects?

    I have no clue, it appeared pretty much overnight. I have seen some fungus gnats in there, it seems like there hasn't been that many lately though. I don't know what could cause that to appear. I'm glad it wasnt from him, though I still worry if that could harm him in anyway.

    Som kind of fungus is my best guess. It's hard to google when I don't know the proper name, but there are some kinds that looks exactly like that (almost like lightning). I would not worry about it too much, just wipe it away when you see it (unless the frog's health starts to decrease).

    An example:

    I'm reading here that it might be from those damn fungus gnats. House Plants: white fluffy, sticky stuff on leaves, nooks and crannies, drip point

    I might have to dig out that pothos and rinse it off real good.
