Black spots on frogs back! Help!

[Tonya Freeman]

I've never personally kept mantelas so I can't say anything for certain about the coloration. I do know that they can be fragile when jumping around and into things. My tinc pair jumped around quite a bit when I first put them into their tank. They ended up with some nose rub sores that healed over quickly. No scarring was left after a week or so.

Hopefully someone with some more mantela experience can chime in to help you figure out what it may be.

After thinking about it and looking again, they may be scrapes that are healing over, my frogs are growing up and are happy and adventuress. I hope they get a handle on there jumping abilities soon. Tonya did the nose rubs appear dark or even black on your tinc's?

[Tonya Freeman]

Yes. The area that they scraped up was originally white and I noticed some dark, blackish scraped areas. It cleared up within a few days and returned back to white.

Just in case, keep an eye on the areas to make sure they are healing correctly. I'd hate for it to be parasitic or bacterial and not be caught in time. I hope that it is just a simple scape since they are still behaving normally.

Thanks, I will keep a close eye on them.

Did these marks looks like this? The spot on his back and a scrape type mark on his leg.
