Odd White's tree frog behavior?

very good. you are well on your way

Okay I read back over your suggestions now that I'm far more awake xD

How could I remove excess water from the bottom of my tank? And I forgot to mention that I do have three sides of his habitat covered although I did just do it yesterday morning. I'll run by my pet store between classes and look for the exoterra you mentioned. Again thanks for your help I really appreciate it

not a problem at all. your best bet for removing excess water is to cut a small piece of sponge, cut a small slit into it and place some aquarium tubing into it. move some substrate and place the sponge with tubing in the hole and cover it back up. when you have excess water in the tank just siphon out the water. leave the tubing in so you can repeat the process. to make it even easier, you can pit a valve at the end (they are about $2). siphon the first time, then close the valve. the next time you need to siphon, just open the valve. do not drain the tank fully if you have the valve, there still needs to be a bit of water or it will break the sipbon and you will end up sucking on the hose again.

So I've had the new thermo/hydrometer and have been maintaining the right humidity and temperature and decided just to keep and eye on him for a while and see if this was the problem, but he still hasn't climbed up anywhere nor has he eaten to my knowledge(Haven't found any waste, but he hasn't lost any weight either). I cleaned out his cage and layer the moss and the coco fiber to keep in humidity, which worked but I think ended up stressing him a lot. He was moving a little bit each day although he basically stayed in the same area and didn't move.

This morning I went over to turn his light on and clean his water dish and he seemed to be sitting on the ground awkwardly, one of his back legs wasn't tucked in like he usually sits. I picked him up gently to check him over again and found these weird white lines a little above where his white stomach turns to green, and on his right back leg there was a spot as well. I know these weren't there before so I'm wondering if he's sick with something? He did still have some energy(He crawled on my arm some, away from his cage) and seemed to be grasping just fine.

Hello Relly,
So sorry you may very well have sick frog
When you get a moment read over some of the recent posts in this tree frog section regarding a run on ill whites. Sadly they have been quite sick. So in light of this ..............I would recommend not wasting any time. Get him to a herp. vet. The members who have posted recently have worked tirelessly in efforts to save their frogs. There have been many.

You could email Dr Frye if you do not have a herp vet. Dr Frye's contact info below:
All care is provided via email - medication are mailed to you.

In the meantime ( not in place of the vet) you could give him a pedialyte soak...directions in link below:
Try to weigh him ( a weight in grams is needed if your have Dr Frye treat him )

I was very afraid of that, my family is having a bit of a rough time and I'm not sure if we could afford sending him to a vet. I've been reading almost all of the white's tree frogs forums and I've heard Dr Frye mentioned many times but I'm not entirely sure on how the system with him works. How would I go about weighing him? I don't believe we own a weight scale currently

I will give him a soak while I do some more research as I do have pedialyte on hand with me.

It seems like all of the closest reptile vets are 30 minutes away, and I'm worried that that would stress him out a lot but without a scale I'm not sure if it's possible to weigh him and then contact Dr Frye. My mom and I are going to get in contact with the vet who does our cat's checkups and see if there's anything she can do to help.

Should I try to set up a vet visit despite the 30 minute drive? Or would that be too much for the frog and I should look for other options?

Also, about the pedi soaking. Should I still do that daily? And for how long?(I've heard different time recommendations).
