Dont have a herp vet nearby.
He seems to be doing much better and the white spots on his skin start to dissapear when being regularily soaked by me. Just dont understand why he wont soak himself. Where his legs are easily submerged totally when being soaked the white marks have gone away completely. and as long as i soak him regularly he doesnt bleed when shedding.
The other frog has still been doing excellent which seems even more strange to me.
I was thinking shedding problem as well. It just seems strange to me that he doesnt want to soak himself. As long as i soak him he seems to get better.
Also, I wanted to add some live plants to their tank, but am unsure what plants would be ok to have in there. Any suggestions?
Here are the answers to your questions
1-size of enclosure 25 Gallon tank
2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?) 2 frogs. White lipped tree frog and a whites frog. both same size
3-humidity unknown. going out to buy humidity gauge.
4-temp around 80
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish tap water treated with 'Reptisafe'
6-materials used for substrate frog approved substrate. Says 'plantation soil' on wrapper
7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv 2 wood hide outs, 1 fake branch with lots of fake leaves.
8-main food source crickets, dusted regularily
9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often ) repti calcium 2x a week
10-lighting natural heat lamp
11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure heat lamp
12-when is the last time he ate saw him going after crickets last night
13-have you found poop lately find poop. not sure which frog it comes from
14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
15- how old is the frog unknown
16-how long have you owned him 10 months
17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred captive bred
18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats crickets about 3-4 days a week
19- about how often the frog is handled only handled to soak him since he got sick. otherwise only to clean tank
20-is the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area very low traffic area
No possibility to being exposed to a chemical. I am very careful of that and have 2 dogs in the house so try to avoid them anyways
To clean the tank i use water and vinegar. very diluted. and wait for it to completely dry before returning them to their home
I mist them twice a day and the humidity has never been a problem. but am gonig out to buy a humidity gauge as soon as i can.
And yes to UVB lighting.
