My Waxy Monkey Tree Frog is Healthy, But ...

This is "Stella" I've had her since July (2012). I posted this photo of her in the thread for January 2013's Photo of the month because I thought she was beautiful

She is BEAUTIFUL never doubt it!

Cali,
I'm very sorry to see you removed your photo from this months 'photo of the month'.
That's really too bad. She's a little thin. You just need to fatten her up; give her a chance
I wish I could help more. However , I have never owned a waxy.

I am going to PM; you .........Michael Novy's phone # .
DO NOT hesitate to call him - he bred these and can help you as well.

His # is here:

He is a very knowledgeable tree frog breeder.
I'm not sure if he is still breeding them. But he did.
It would be worth 'picking his brain'

I know I have! He is sweet and very easy to talk to.

You can meet Michael here:
Enjoy

Yes, I have removed all my photos. I didn't post a picture of my frog (for the January 2013 contest) to create paranoia and fear in my life, where it wasn't before.

It's very disappointing that, as a relatively new member, I can''t post a picture of my healthy frog without having other members question her health.

I doubt I'll return to this site again... the last few days have been a very negative experience for me. (except for those with Heatheranne and Lynn)

Lija and I were not being negative at all. when we see a frog that doesn't look its best we will say so. All we were doing was trying to help we were not trying to be rude. I hope you do not leave for the the frogs sake.

Please don't be discouraged, there's a strong tendency of people here to interject when they think someones frog is in trouble, whether this is the case or not. Sometimes disasters can be averted this way, sometimes the owner just gets annoyed, but almost always they had the best intentions.

I had looked at this post earlier and knowing nothing about waxy monkey frogs went and looked for as many pictures of them as I could find to compare with yours. Lots were rotund little blobs, and quite a few had arms and legs that looked like yours. I concluded that I just don't know what the proportions should be in a healthy waxy, and I know it's really impossible to say anything conclusive from that one photo given how the fleshy bits of a frogs body are kinda like an amorphous blob that does the bidding of gravity.

If you are unsure, I'd take Lynns advice and try to consult with someone who has lots of actual hands on experience with this species.

But please do hang around, those of us who don't have exotic frogs have to live vicariously through the pictures of others here.

Cali, no offense intended, no idea where you see negativity, I just want to help, not many people had experience with waxies, i went thorough hell and back with mine when i was just starting off and now I know what I'm talking about when it comes to waxies, the question however why you asked for a advice and got offended when we tried to do so. please stick around.

Brian- exactly - it is hard to say from one photo, but it that particular one the frog looked skinny, more pics would help, it may be a male, they look more skinny then females at times, the chances are nothing is wrong with a frog, it is green and shiny, it is probably just needs some fattening up to do or may be just different angle of the picture

Cali,
As a moderator here on Frog Forum I would like to, publicly , apologize for what happened.
Like Brian has mentioned in his post here, on this thread, I'm sure in was with good intention.
We, sincerely, hope you re-consider.

I'm really wondering if you thought about calling or were able to get through to Michael.
Very possibly will have to leave a message- he will get back to you.
Lynn
