Hello,
I am new to the site. I've been searching feverishly trying to find a possible explanation for why my White's tree frog, Gomez, is not acting normally to no avail. I've had him for roughly 6 months. He has always had a very healthy appetite and has been really vocal. But recently that has all changed. He hasn't been interested in crickets at all and I have not heard him vocalize for quite some time. The other wtf, Milton, in the tank with him has always been more reserved when it comes to croaking and eating. Milton is acting completely normal, actively going after crickets and vocalizing frequently. I noticed a week or two ago that Gomez appeared to be shedding and was just hanging out in the water dish all the time. Then i noticed that his shed appeared to be gone but he wasn't opening his eyes and his mouth seems "weird" like he's still in the middle of swallowing his skin. The tank is kept between 75 and 80 degrees and between 50 and 60 percent humidity. There are no herp vets anywhere near me so this is really my only option. From what i've read some sort of respiratory issue seems to be most likely, but i am unsure. I could just be over-exaggerating a bad shed? Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. I've attached some pictures, they aren't the best angle or quality but hopefully they help a bit.
