Blue green tree frog

[Lukeb]

Hey guys
new to the threads
my green tree frog I've had for around a week has seemed to develop a blue spot on its back.
i can't find any info online about what may have caused this.
i have 2 other GTFs that I bought along with this one and have not been seperated from it.
does anyone know what may have caused this?
thanks!!

Well I now that they can be blue or even turn blue just like they can turn brown when stressed. There are all whites tree frogs which are born like that so maybe thats just a part green part blue one. However I don't know about green tree frogs being blue. They are very much like whites tree frogs/AUSTRALIAN GREEN TREE FROGS and maybe the shop either got confused or mislabeled.

Also could you maybe tell me where you got it from because some places sell sick ones or ones with infections.
Try to keep it away from the others though until you figure out what it is.

Australian Green Tree frogs are sometimes called Green Tree Frogs. Probably not a mistake. Do you know if yours is the Australian or Indonesian type? It could be a pigment fluke only visible sometimes for all I know.

Keep a close eye on him, see if he spends an unusual amount of time in the water bowl, see if he's eating. If he appears to be sick otherwise, the spot might be related to patchy shedding and a sign of a fungal infection.

Sorry, he's def an Australian green tree frog, our government in Australia has strict import laws on amphibians so unfortunatly it's hard to get exotic frogs into the country.
they were given to me by a friend when I got my rep/amph licence.
apparently it's always had the blue spot but being a beginner I didn't think they had blue variations
any other insight would be amazing though

Oh good, it's probably just a pigment thing or a scar then. And they do have blue variations!

Im glad it isnt an infections of something because pets arent easy to let go of no matter how new
