Neon Green spots

[69efan69]

Guys i really cant sleep thinking about this.

i recently discovered this spots on my frog's hind legs..



and when i read up about these spots on other forums, none of their frogs survived!

they even labelled it as "neons spots of death".

Green spots on two seperate WTFs ~~~~ HELP please - talk to the frog

im totally freaked out right now..

anyone had their frogs in this situation also? Did they make it through?

Most likely its an irritation of the skin from any number of things. It can be chemical or perhaps one frog peed on the other. Chances are this is nothing.

You can try doing a Lamisil bath to rule out fungi. Dilute 1 ml of terabinafine hydrochloride (Lamisil) cream into 200 ml of distilled water. Make this solution up 24 hours in advance of using it. The cream takes a while to disolve. Soak the frog in it for ten minutes daily for the next ten days. Use a container in which the frog can not easily climb out of the solution. Needless to say, the container should have a cover to it.

This morning he's nice green again, with the neons gone. Not in the waterbowl, he's high up in the wood. But im afraid its a start of something really bad.

The folks over at talktothefrog forum labelled it as "neon spots of death" , which literally froze me when i read it (none of their frogs survived, death usually occur days after spots are seen ) . so its not really that case?

Thank you for calming me down .

Talk to the frog isn't exactly overflowing with experts (no offense). I personally think your frog is alright, especially given the transience of the markings. Kurt's advice is sound and worth following if you are particularly concerned.

haha alright will try not to be too paranoid over stuff unless i see some really serious symptoms .

here's a little update.. this is her in the afternoon where she usually is lime green..



spots are gone? maybe blended well with the green. im not sure.

This is her at night when she is usually turns to a darker shade of green / brown..



spots are visible again although not as many as yesternight .

what makes me happy is that she responds to my "frog" calls (yes i always to that ) , eat from my hands. and always spotting / hunting a cricket although the cricket is a mile away. Didnt stay in the water bowl.

there's still some worry in me though haha.

cheers guys!!

ps : caudata.org is another good forum i always look up to

It was probably just some minor irritation to the skin. No biggie. "Neon spots of death", thas rich.
