So i'm new to the amphibian scene, as i recently took a whites tree frog from a friend cause she was moving. I noticed something was up with it's mouth, but it didn't seem to be affecting it.

(it's the right side)

I know he's a tree frog so would there be any reason why he doesn't climb the glass or chill in the branches like my crested gecko does? He hides in the dirt all day under the plants, but not in them.

I also noticed that i occasionally see him trying to get something out of his mouth. It covers his legs and arms and it's like a mucus type substance, and is covered in dirt. I doubt im supposed to but i feel bad for him choking on it so i help him get it out.. What is that stuff..?

He eats like a champ btw, eats like 3-4 crickets a day.


Here's his enclosure.
