Small stripe spots on ATF

[EtTuBrute]

I'm not sure what ATF stands for - American Tree Frog? He kinda looks like a Grey Tree Frog to me, and the stripes are a bit unusual but they look totally natural. Tree frogs do change color sometimes.

I do know that the your description of him "throwing up" sounds a lot like he's just shedding his skin - don't worry, every new frog owner freaks out when they see that for the first time. They'll writhe around and have a string of black goo stretching from their sides into their mouth (they eat their shed skin). If you ever see him doing that, don't bug him, I assure you he's fine.

Thank you so much! I’ve had frogs all my life and have never seen them eat there skin so this definitely was a first lol and The stripes just kinda appeared one day but if there natural looking then I’ll let him be but I’ll keep a eye on him just in case

Just as EtTuBrute said, tree frogs often change colour but in my opinion that is not a grey tree frog. To me that looks like an american green tree frog (Hyla cinerea) AGTF (not ATF); the white stripe by his mouth gives it away. Could you explain what you mean by long slimy black thing that was alive. I don't know much about parasites in frogs but if it's a nematode I've heard you can see eggs or weird sorts of things in its feces.
