Redleg

[Herpvet]

I'm pretty sure it's redleg, although I'm not totally certain. He has a slight reddish tint on his stomach and limbs. But the red on the limbs seems to come and go. He also still has his appetite, his eyes are bright, and he's active (as far as Budgett frogs go).

Hi,

I would certainly agree with the advice to get him checked out at a vet - someone actually seeing the animal is in a much better position to assess it properly.

Just a thought though, with what you're describing, I would also check the enclosure very carefully for any surface that might be chemically or physically irritating him (e.g. inadequately rinsed disinfectant). Also exposure to chemicals on the hands could do this. At least the vet might well ask you about this so it might be useful to think about now.

Hope this helps,

Bruce.
