Introductin and ask'n for some help....

[flybyferns]

Hello,
I'll start by introducing myself...
My name is Shadow, I'm into snakes I have a few in my collection.
A couple of Boa Morphs Albino and blood/albino, Luci. Texas Rat, Naja Sputatrix.
I just came across a couple of Redeye tree frogs, My first frogs... ~~<
One has some white yellow spots... I understand some are normal and some are not good at all...
I've searched on line and can not find any pics that compare good ones and the bad ones (if u will) Perhaps I'm just not search'n right...
I think something of this sort would be very helpful...
I'm inserting a pic ask'n advise from those in the know..
So I can get on it if its Oodinium....
Thx!!!

Hi Shadow,
Welcome to Frog Forum
They look beautiful !
The spots are normal. Some have more than others.

May I........I hope you don't mind:
For the first few weeks you have your frogs; they are very stressed (even though they may not look stressed)
They should be in a quiet spot ..out of an active area of the home.
You could cover three sides of the tank to help them feel more secure and provided a day/night cycle
Feed them well. Use vitamins and calcium powder to dust their food
Use de-chlorinated water for a shallow soaking dish / changed daily
Never handle them unless absolutely necessary- ( they get very scared)
They think they are:
1- going to be eaten
2 -going to be squished
Stress suppresses their immune system and can increased the risk of an illness

If they were not housed together when you purchased them ---they should be in separate quarantine tanks for at least 2 months to be sure they are disease free.

Here is a great caresheet:

Enjoy them - congrats !

The VERY best person to purchase a red eyed or an albino red eyed tree frog from ( in my opinion ) is Michael Novy.
He readily breeds black eyed tree frogs as well ( A. moreletii)
He usually has all three. Plus, he is super nice !

I got my moreletii froglets from him in May. They are so healthy!
