White Tree Frog Help

[Bolisnide]

Morning guy`s, just noticed my wee frog, looks not so good, any idea`s ?


Temp`s: 80`s

Humidity: 70

food : Not eaten in over a week


His skin looks good as normal but his mouth looks to have some sort of mucus and there a gap between jaws.


I`v had him for around 3 years without any problems


Thank`s for reading my request.

Hi,
Looks like shed skin that has dried and he wasn't able to swallow it....
Maybe get another hygrometer to make sure your humidity is really at 70%. You can also give him a soak in warm (treated tap) water to help loosen it.

Thank`s Bolisnide, i`v done as you said and he`s fine. The hygrometer is ok, so not sure why his skin was dry ? i`v replaced the batteries just in case.


Much appreciated for your time and help

You're welcome....
He looks good. I am curious about the temps, you said in the 80's? Too high could dry out parts of the enclosure? 82 F is the highest I keep my white's enclosure during the day, and about 75 at night. But they can withstand higher temps.
Just a thought.

Thank you. I might have it, the end of the temp gauge is 5 inches from the top of the glass, its 18inches total... sorry all the rest got deleted, image to explain lol.... where should i stick the temp gauge ? i v just changed the tank a couple of weeks ago. Looking at it now the gauge maybe too close to the lamp and i`v two canopy`s now, piss poor..... Ventilation I`v removed one of the canopy`s, for one of the lamps if needed ) ... How far down should i bring the gauge...he`s just jumped of that bit of wood, looks to be in hunting mode..... geez i`v messed it up for the wee falla

What is that on the top of the screen?
Looks like huge beetle of some sort.

BTW

I place my sensor in the middle of one of the sides of the enclosure.

I love that I can practically hear your scottish accent!
Okay, that big boy needs a bigger enclosure, when you can afford it. it looks fine for now, he's got places to climb, which is good.
But, there is no way to have a proper gradient of heat in that tiny cage, it's just hot all over. He needs more shelter too, like a shelf of bigger potho plant (a real one if possible?).
I would also recomend that you cover 3 sides of the enclosure with a towel, or brown paper. It will help him to feel more secure.
And you do need good ventilation, so glad you removed one of the canopies.
Otherwise, it looks good.
You obviously are smitten with the frog, and he's well fed. Is that a black field cricket? is it a wild caught insect, or something available for purchase? Just curious...

Oh, and like the above post, the middle side of the enclosure is good placement for the sensor.
