    Default Neon green spot on Whites Tree Frogs head.

    Yes, I agree. I think he was stressed. It looks as though he is trying to sneak out. His nose and lip are bruised. That is generally caused by them trying to push up out of the tank.

    Do you have a photo of his tank so we can see if there's anything that we could recommend?

    Get some plain, original Neosporin in case he scratches open his nose. Original only, none with pain relievers - the pain reliever type is toxic to them. Pick up some soft ended Qtips too.

    The humidity of 80% with mid day drops to 50% is okay for Whites tree frogs. Just mist again at bedtime . Be sure he has a nice water dish of fresh dechlorinated water each day for hydrating.

    Okay I'll post some pics of his tank when I get home! I don't think he's trying to get out anymore, I remember the second night I brought him home he was climbing all over the tank walls and such, it must have happened then. When I look into his tank now he is either sitting on his branch in the pic above or by his water dish.

    Thank you very much for the advice btw!

    80% shouldn't be too bad as long as it doesn't stay 80 all the time. I think the same thing's true of 50% humidity. It looks like you have lots of plants for a frog to hide in, so that's good.

    I currently own 3 wtf and all the research I've done says moss is a big issue with the way the frogs feed. It causes impactions and digestive problems. I switched to reptile carpet and have had good luck but I have to work to keep my humidity up. Usually not an issue with a few sprays of water a few times a day. Keep an eye on the brusing and monitor poop to make sure the frog is passing there food ok. Carpet and paper towels make a very easy to keep track of bowel movements. Easy spot cleanup aswell! Hope this helps. Happy frogging ��

    White's tree frogs do well with humidity between 40%-60%; it's normal for the humidity to go up after misting, but you definitely don't want it to stay 70%-80%+ for any great length of time, and under 40% is really too dry.

    As I said earlier, I know moss can cause impaction during feeding, but my frog is only tong fed so he is never anywhere near the moss when I feed him. I will definitely keep and eye on him though, and yes, he has been pooping!
