Sick RETF, Please help
Ok so I believe my red eye tree frog, Kiwi, is sick and in need of help as soon as possible.
I'll start with some relevant information. Light green spots first appeared on her back a little less than a week ago. As the pictures show more spots have begun to appear. The spots are nearly invisible during the day when her skin is light green. Her (assumed gender) tank substrate is coco husk eco-bricks and terrarium moss with a hydro ball drainage layer. For landscaping there is also a fake plant which I put in over a month ago after all the live plants died (rubber tree plant and...I want to say ivy), there is also a large piece of wood for the frog to climb, and of course the water bowl which I fill with spring water. The tank has a UV light during the day and a moonlight bulb on at night and I mist the cage once a day, usually with distilled water. Average cage temperature is probably around 75 with 70% humidity. Kiwi is the only frog in the cage. There used to be one other Red-Eyed Leaf Frog, Strawberry, but he died over a year ago when they were babies for reasons that are still a complete mystery to me. I have had Kiwi for about about a year and a half now.
I don't know if this has any relevance at all but lately I have had back to back illnesses, first a cough, now the flu, though I always make sure my hands are clean when handling anything in the cage.
Kiwi does not appear to be lethargic and is active at the right time of day. The only new behavior I have witnessed is she seems to be soaking in her water bowl a lot.
...thats all I can think of for now. If you want any more info or pictures, please ask. Any ideas?
