Should I be worried if my female has an slightly 'inflated/white/showing/' cloaca?

So yeah, instead of being the same colour as her back, it is whitish.

No problems in behaviour, nothing to impact on, diet is strictly reptomin (at the moment, will vary diet at a later date)

I DID see white stringy stuff floating around one day after Uni, could this perhaps be infertile eggs? I haven't seen amplexus, or haven't heard any calling from the male, as far as I'm aware.

I'll post a picture if needed.

Thanks!

It has always been slightly white, but it is a lot more prominent lately, any ideas?

[Mentat]

Sorry; but can't see what you discuss about in that photo. If white, doubt it's a prolapse.

I'm not sure really, white stringy stuff coming from the cloaca could be worms maybe..?

Honestly I think I'd just wait and see. If the frog acts normal it may just go away.

Better pictures may help though.

A clearer picture would be helpful, if you have one. How old is your frog? Is she still growing or has she only recently (within the last few months) reached sexual maturity? If so then could it just be that her cloaca is becoming more prominent as she matures, or is something definitely not right? I know it's obvious but I thought I'd ask as it isn't clear from your picture.

Their eggs shouldn't be stringy, as far as I'm aware, even if they're not fertilised. Obviously if you've seen them shed before then you would have already ruled this out, but if you haven't then could the stringy stuff be shed skin that they haven't eaten? Could you describe it a bit better if not?

I'll post a clearer picture later. I've been too busy to frequent the site like I used to.

Good news however, I highly doubt that there is anything wrong with her, as I suspected, but just wanted to be sure. As time goes on, it seems that it is just a mature cloaca, as I've seen pictures from when I first got her, and it was still 'whitish' but not as prominent.

Thanks for the help, and concern.


(p.s) I never found the origin of the stringy substance, and whether or not it was my angel fish spawning. So who knows.

I have three female ACF and yeah the cloaca does become rather prominent. If the frog is eating well and pooping, I wouldn't worry.
