    It could very well be a stuck shed from the sound of it. I'd make sure the water dish is in the cool spot too, and not directly under the lamp. Honey baths are more for constipation (did you be sure to give him a rinse bath afterwards?) If he's eating I wouldn't worry about a honey or Pedialyte bath for now, just be sure to maintain humidity levels where they are and dial the heat down a bit (77-80F daytime is fine) 73-75 nighttime is where we maintain our guys and they do fine with that. I might suggest you get a hide for them that they can actually get into as well. A simple white PVC plumbing connector (for potable water) is Shirley and Honey-Limes new daytime hideout and they love it! You can easily find the connectors at any hardware store that sells plumbing fixtures for larger applications.

    Mom to these fine frogs!

    Thank you so much for all your help! Steve is doing wonderful today! He hasn't been opening his mouth at all today, plus he's active, hungry, and pooping (You know you're an animal lover when you get really excited to see frog poop!) Luckily it looks like all my worrying was just overreacting and it was just a shedding issue that seems to have resolved on its own.

    I've turned down the temp today and will replace with lower watt bulbs tomorrow. I had been going off of the Whites Tree Frog care sheet in the articles section which recommended 85 F daytime temps. I'll stick with the lower temps now though, plus I put in a hide for them (which they have so far ignored, but at least it's there if they want it.

    I did the honey bath initially just because I wasn't sure what exactly the problem was, and he did get a plain water soak afterwards.
