    From what I understand the dark corporation with spotting is not a good sign. I would quarantine him for 4 weeks in a seperate 10 gallon tank with something to climb on and moist paper towels as substrate. Keep him at correct climate and humidity.

    I am no expert and do not own White's, but I have seen this on the forum many times. Hopefully a White's owner will chime in.

    I was under the impression the white spots were harmless, just markings they were born with. We bought him partially due to the markings so they'd be easy to tell apart. It was more the coloration that has us worried. When we took him out to look at him more closely, (after a thorough hand rinsing, no soap), he turned out to be quite a jumper, but he has yet to touch the crickets.
    He's in a separate 10 gallon tank with a plant and a water bowl right now.

    I agree with Grif, the dark coloring is not a good sign. Has he been eating, acting lethargic, or just sitting in his water? Are his legs red because in the picture they look a little like a disease called Red Leg, ( it may just be the frogs skin coloration of it is pinkish because my baby's skin is that color) If it happens to red leg then I would call a vet. And yes go ahead and put him in a desperate container and be sure to monitor your other baby to make sure she has not caught what her brother had. I hope Lawrence gets better

    He has not eaten yet. His legs don't seem to be infected like how i've heard red leg described, but I am just going off of the other posts on the forums. I try not to be paranoid, but I wanted to double check. We may just keep them separate until we finish the big viv sometime this summer.

    That may be the best thing to do. Keep everyone posted on his condition.

    Hello,
    Welcome to FF. Enjoy your frogs !
    I agree with Grif. He needs to be separated and watched carefully.
    Also, a newly purchased plant can expose a frog to fertilizers and pesticides
    Anytime a frog is new to you, they really need time ( quarantine time - 6 weeks minimum) in a quiet atmosphere to get adjusted; handling only if necessary.
