The gang

[Louis Charles Bruckner]

That's one way to interpret it.
It was actually in reference to a Domino game peace with the white dots.

I have seen some lovely pictures "green tree frogs" with white stops but have yet to see one in person.

The link below has some beautiful frogs with white spots.

My other 3 all have white spots, but on her it's the white lines on her legs that really got my attention. And she also has a white mustache to boot!!

[CatherineM]

Any chance it a white-lipped tree frog or giant tree frog?

No, it's def a captive breed White's.

Here we go again. The neighbor has tads in the rain tubs again. This year it's Upland Chorus Frogs. Once they have their back legs I might take a few. I figure I've got a few weeks to read up on these guys. That's her finger along side them for size comparison.



Now if you knew my neighbor she is quite unique with a heart of gold. Back in the spring/summer of 2011 is when we started our froggy adventures and she kept 3 of the Copes Grey Tree Frogs and her's are spoiled rotten, 2 females, 1 male. Ok, so she plays this frog calling CD and I just thought this email from her was hilarious.


“Bess doesn't want Bede as a mate, she wants the male on the CD. She's about to push through the screen. She will dig under the soil, return to the side glass and push on it all the way around, then return to the screen. She seems very agitated right now. It is so obvious she want the CD frog. Oh well, we all fell in love with a singer on a CD (or record) sometime.”

Thursday night I noticed this white spot on Vera's back and it just didn't look right. So I pulled her out and got the magnifying glass and sure enough this little white spot was raised, NOT normal. So I took her into the Vet yesterday and sucked it up and dropped some fund-age for the little girl. They first numbed the area then did a scrape to culture it. It came back with bacterial and fungal organisms so she gave me some SSD cream to apply daily until it's gone. So now trying to figure out HOW this happened since I keep the viv clean, the plants were all “safe” before they were put in, change water at least once a day and the temps and humidity have been the same as the other tank, no changes so what happened. Turns out, and I didn't know this, that wild caught moths carry bacterial AND fungal components. That's it, no more wild caught anything for ANYONE!! They'll just have to be happy with roaches, crickets, wax & butter worms. I've tried raising wax worm moths in the past with no luck.

Great catch, Gail! And quick acting!

You may have to strip down your tank floor/ substrate. Keep it bare til she heals.

The Vet didn’t seem concerned about the viv or the need to quarantine. She also said it was a slightly bacterial issue so I might have caught it early. She also said to just keep an eye on Vern and if he develops any white spots to treat in the same manner. One thing that makes it easier is that they use separate water sources. She uses the bromeliad he uses the water dish. I wonder if one of those hand help lights that are suppose to kill bacterial would help.

After two beers with chips and hummus me and the neighbor found a name for her. Taliah (Tah-lee-ah) which is Hebrew "dew from God".

Awe .

You can drop a drop of SSD in their water bowls for a soak during the day, if needed.

[kueluck]

Thanks for the info. Also the spot has already gone down and is more flush with the skin now. Vera is such a sweet little girl. She just sits in my hand while I clean off the old, dry the area then reapply with no issues. Some times she'll turn her head & look at me as if to say "are you about done!".

There's this one spot that She-Toad and Morph are always competing for. I guess they decided it was big enough for both of them........at least for now it is.

[kueluck]

I think his self-esteem might be a little too high.

[flybyferns]

Funny!
He's adorable!
Looks like he was talking to himself , too

...Turns out, and I didn't know this, that wild caught moths carry bacterial AND fungal components....

That is the reason (plus pesticides) myself do not feed anything from the wild. Your toads and frogs still look great Gail .

[kueluck]

Well I had a nice surprise this morning. Runway popped up. I think she's been underground since Oct!! I was going to release her, but now I can't tell the difference between her and T.Toad *sigh*
1. Morph
2 & 3 Runway & T.Toad or T.Toad & Runway
4. SheToad

[kueluck]

Thanks Carlos. I hate it for the AGTF since they LOVE moths. I've tried raising wax worms into moths but that was a bust.

Runway has been making up for being underground for 7 months, eating wise that is. When the flat stone is removed a wonderful white dish filled with red runner goodness appears. She hangs close by in anticipation of it's arrival. Crazy toad.

Turns out my Taliah has a voice, and a big voice. So I'm gonna call him Tally or I just might change them all to Eni Meni Mini Moe. I really don't think they care as long as the food dish shows up every other night.
