Neon Green spots

[69efan69]

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.

lol yeaa.

they said that having these really bright green spots is an indication that something is terribly wrong and death is very likely.. sigh..

at 12am just now, her front legs are almost covered with these spots again! they;re making a comeback. its driving me insane once again.

now at 4am.. its gone again..

Btw is it normal for my frog to soak herself most of the time during night time and their bums would jerk abit once in a while (while in the bowl) ? ( sleeps near the top of the tank by day though )

and what's the best way to quickly bring down my tank's humidity ?


cheers!

Ventilation. Treefrogs need it! The lack of ventilation could be the cause of the green spots, possibly. Green spots are just an indication of an irratation, not the disease itself. There are several things that can do this, some are fatal, some are not. Only your vet can say for sure. Like I said, try the Lamisil bath, that should eliminate any fungal threat. If it persists look at your husbandry, make sure its correct and if it is, take the frog to the vet.

check on him this morning, again, really nice green , sleeping on the highest branch , not on the ground, not in the water bowl thank god.

Im using the exo terra veritcal tank with mesh top which i think provides good ventilation. will adding a small pc fan help ? It can get really really humid here in Singapore.


will try out the lamisil bath if he shows some weird symptoms


. thanks!! =]

Alright a little update..

waited for this guy to wake up and when he finally did, he shed i think, eating his own skin. then take a huge poopie and pee. and off he went to the water bowl to soak for a good 10mins before he started hunting for crickets. ate around 6 .

This is the poop.. looks ok ? a little bit wet due to his pee haha




here he is now.. no more spots or anything unusual, not even his behaviour i think.



cheers

Looks alright to me considering it's wet. That's a beautiful photo (the frog, not the poo!).

[Kurt]

The poo looks like a meatball, maybe I should photoshop some spagetti into the picture. The frog looks good too.
