Filled with air?

Okay! Thank you. I'll try to get him a new one soon.

His water is really gross dark brown in the morning, so I always assumed he pooped in there!

It is possible hes pooping in the water dish. If he poops in the early night hours and it sits there several hours then he disturbs the water then it'll break up and look like dirt. My Azy poops in her dish sometimes. I should take pics of it one morning. She dosn't always poop in there but often times she does. If yours is the bowl will look like its caked with substraight at the bottom, maybe mostly pushed to one side. If you have to rinse the dish to get it all out its probable that hes pooing in there. Especially since hes in such a small space he might be going in the one place he knows will get cleaned up every day (they dont like laying in there poo anymore then we would).

And whites would prefer to be up when there awake. Azy likes to sleep in her hollow log on the bottom of the tank but when she comes out at night shes almost always up in the branches rather then on the floor. If you have up space they will use it. Since your babe hasn't had a lot of up space you might need entice him to at first but eventually he'll get the idea and he'll probably burn off a lot of his excess weight too.

As for holding, I let Az sit on my shoulder and chest a lot. She'll sit and sleep on me while I watch TV or read. Shes not too thrilled if I "play" with her, like move her around a lot or something but she loves to just sit on mommy and sleep. Whites have a coating to there skin that resists the oils in our skin that other tree frogs dont have so they take better to being held then other frogs do but as for actually LIKING being held that would be a frog to frog thing. Percy, my green, would rather hop off into the room and hide then sit in my hands and my gray, Hellen, loved to sit on me like Azy. Other people say there frogs dont like to be touched at all and they dont unless absolutely necessary. If yours settles into a relaxed position or falls asleep then you know he is content with being held.

And lastly! I take apart my tanks once a month (roughly) and rinse them with declorinated water or very very hot water if there has been a problem (I put boiling water into the smaller when my gray died to be sure there wasn't anything in there to kill my green and I did the same recently when I had a bad mold problem in Azy's tank) and I put all the decorations (mostly fake plants and things) and water dishes into a large tub and fill it with as hot of water I can get out of the tap and let it sit, occasionally disturbing the water to get the dirt and things off. I just started using live plants so I'm really not sure if things will change. I have my plants in small containers, though, not planted directly in the soil. If there directly planted then it would be very bad for them to be uprooted once a month.
