    Default Red Eyed Tree Frog Concerns

    Last night I went to check on my Red Eyed Tree Frog, and found him sleeping on a leaf. This concerned me a bit because of the fact that he normally wakes up within an hour of his light shutting off in his enclosure, and several hours had past since the light had gone off. I checked on him every few hours, and he hadn't budged an inch. This morning when I woke up, he was still in the same spot, sleeping. When the light shut off today, he woke up very slowly, keeping his left eye closed. He began to repeatedly open and shut his left eye, for no apparent reason. While he was doing this, I noticed that his right eye was extremely dilated while his other was not. He seems to be fine now, hunting some crickets that I let loose in his tank for him, but I was wondering if this day-and-a-half sleeping period, as well as his strange eye behavior, are things that I should be worried about. I would greatly appreciate any input!

    I have never seen my RETFs do what you are explaining with their eyes, but I also don't watch them too often when they wake up (I'm usually putting my son to sleep). But in the past I have noticed my biggest one sleep longer sometimes. If I spray some water in the tank she usually wakes up. But I've also noticed before that the night after they eat they sleep a little longer. The few times that I've watched them wake up it almost looks like they are going to throw up, they hunch their backs and clench their stomachs like they just ate. I wouldn't be too concerned if she is acting normal now. If it were me I would just keep an eye out the next couple days to make sure she is still acting normal.

    Thanks you!
    Just as an update, he seems to be fine now. He is sleeping in a new location and was hunting, like he normally does, last night. I am going to keep a look out for his eye behavior, but I think he is doing pretty good now.
