It is difficult to really see what you are talking about, although I can catch a glimpse of it in the first picture. Could you describe it in more detail?

Re: Green tree frog has deformed face
It's kinda hard to explain. Its always had a little bit of a red nose and now it seems to be a problem. At first i thought it was from jumping into the side or something but now you can tell his mouth is kinda crooked and misshapen. It often has its mouth all the way open like it hurts. Sometimes it almost looks like hes trying to throw up. I've seen him do this and fall off the side of the glass. Here are some better pics of it and the cage there in. Also hes a good half-inch shorter than the other healthy looking frog.
Re: Green tree frog has deformed face
Could it just be nose rub that got infected and would it be ok to put neosporin on it? I also just changed the setup. Got some stuff today.

Re: Green tree frog has deformed face
It looks like a mechanical injury to me (as if he ran into the walls too hard), but I've never seen one first hand. You may want to keep the terrarium warm and slightly drier to help him heal. Neosporin might help.
Re: Green tree frog has deformed face
I'm sorry to say he passed away today. He had that sore since i got him so i dont really feel like it was my fault but im still pretty bummed. Thanks for the help.
Re: Green tree frog has deformed face
Sorry about the loss.
Did you bought it like that? If so did you noticed it was like that at the shop? Just asking because I would never buy a animal that doesn't look 100%. From my personal experience with frogs by the time you noticed there's something wrong it's usually alittle too late.
Re: Green tree frog has deformed face
Sorry for your loss.
It looked to me to be an injury from excessive rubbing. Looking at your tank, I think it needs some foliage to prevent this from happening with the other frog. Treefrogs live in foliage and not having any makes them feel insecure, so they try to escape, which means they constantly rub their faces on the glass in an attempt to pass through it.
Again I am sorry for your loss.
Re: Green tree frog has deformed face
Thanks I didn't know that. I'll get some.
