    Default Why is my wtf brown?

    My white tree frog, Eddie, has gone from a healthy green to a dull shade of brown. The humidity is 82, and the temp. Is 79, so I don't know what's wrong. He is very young, so his current predicament deeply troubles me. Does anyone have any advice about helping him return to his natural green color?

    I really wouldnt worry about this, this happens all the time with my Bombinas. The frog usually will turn brown to green either because its cold or stressed. If you have a UV light, his colors would be MUCH brighter.

    Good luck with your frog!

    White's Tree Frogs can change color pretty dramatically during the course of the day, depending on mood, temperature, and humidity at that particular time. Mist the cage and turn the lights out, I'm sure it'll go back to green!

    spray paint seriously though, all 6 of mine go from brown to green pretty frequently. a lot, i found, depends on where they are and what the background area is like. sort of like camouflage.
