White's tree frog sick or stressed?

That doesn't produce any usable UVB. It used to be called a 2% but I think when people realised a 2% would be useless placed above mesh as the output is halved they probably then changed it so it wouldn't be considered a UVB bulb. You need at least a reptisun 5.0 or exo terra uvb100, so one that emits 5%

http://www.amazon.com/Reptisun-5-0-M...ptisun+5.0+uvb is the correct bulb then? Also do you think they will be OK with just the current lighting setup for two days while it ships?

I'd get the 26w one, if you can, it emits slightly more UVB than the lower wattage. Of course, it would take some time for problems to develop and they can do without if supplemented with normal calcium with D3 but I don't recommend that. For my tree frogs I use UVB lighting and then Repashy calcium plus LoD for dusting.

Couldn't find the reptisun 5.0 in 26w but the UVB100 26w one is good enough? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

Yeah that will be. The exo terra needs replacing more frequently I've heard, as often as every 3-4 months but the zoo meds should last up to a year, so if you could find the zoo med one you might be better off.

Hmm yeah I can't find any reptisun 5.0 on amazon rated at 26w besides one that doesn't say the wattage on the post but it does say 3u-26w on the side of the bulb in the picture. ( http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-ReptiS...s=reptisun+5.0 ) I assume this is the perfect one then? Sorry for the all these little posts just want to make sure I do this right.

I think that may be it. Note it is longer than the exo terra bulbs and may stick out on the exo terra light domes (if that's what you already have) you'll need a deep dome or some way of raising the dome. It's no problem, always happy to help
