I noticed last night during feeding time that Atlas, my male grey tree frog, has a brown spot on his head. I have had 2 new lights on the tank since last week, the original lighting I had went kaput. I'm wondering if his head could have been burned by one of the new lights? What do I do if that's the case? Right now, I have NO lights on because I have no idea. I have been using an LED light - Amazon.com: KLTECH NEW 48 LED White Blue Light 3 Mode Fish Tank Aquarium Clip Lamp: Computers & Accessories and then when it got cold out for a few days, the temps in my tank were dropping so I put a 15 watt incandescent to warm them up in combo with the LED. The problem is, he perches much higher than my girls and was much closer to the incandescent than the rest of them. Originally I used the Reptisun 5.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp - 13w.
.
He seems to be plenty active, still chirping and eating, isn't acting like anything is wrong. He hasn't soaked at all except when I put him in the water dish for the pic, but he doesn't normally. I haven't moved him to the quarantine tank quite yet because his activity is still good.
He puffed himself out here because he was mad at me for sticking him in the water.
An old pic of the viv, basically the same with a minor change in a few plants, and now I bowl feed so there isn't vitamin dust everywhere.
