Help PLZ Sick African Clawed Frog

[mpmistr]

well i think i may know whats going on she has what i like to call it....albinos disease its because she has no pigmentation in her skin which makes her very epistle or however you spell that to a sun burn and the owner can for for a week im guessing with out seeing it and there the frog lays getting sicker and sicker if i was you shut off the light and find a new one no matter what do as i say

I would eat my left shoe if this is not an issue with water quality. Albinos may be sensitive to UVB but clawed frogs should not be given UVB light. Albino ACF might be sensitive to bright light in regards to their vision but clawed frogs have terrible vision.

I have albino ACF and my frog has never gotten lesions or "sun burn", LED/T5/T8 lights cannot do this to frogs.

Brian, again you have been all over the forum asking endless question about frogs claiming to know nothing and then here you are giving someone advice like you know for certain what to do. Please feel free to give advice, but please be sure you know what you are talking about. These frogs are peoples pets, friends, and family. It is not OK to go around tossing out advise and claiming it is 100% accurate unless you actually know what you are talking about. My guess is you googled the symptoms and then posted the treatment for the top result you found.

Please please please just stop. I want you to get frogs and love them and learn about them, but don't try to lie about what you know. You already admitted to lying on this forum once already.



Aquariumlover - I am so sorry that your frog is sick. I really think Michael can help you. Please let us know the water chem numbers when you get a chance. I would be interested to see Michael eat his left shoe if it did come down to that
