White specks on White's tree frog

[Sierra]

Hello, I have noticed some really tiny spots on my white's tree frog, that I have never noticed before, I have only had them a couple weeks though. The spots look like the ones in this picture

but, are a lot smaller. I know some white's tree frogs are speckled, but I was wondering if it could possibly be some sort of infection or anything that I need to worry about.
They are kept in a 18x18x24 exo terra with humidity around 50% and the temperatures around 70, which I know is a little cold, but I can't seem to get it any higher than that, any ideas to raise the heat?
Thanks!

The spots you are describing sound like the spots on some of my frogs, like the photo but much smaller. In which case, they are completly normal

Do you use a heat mat or lamp? Or both? Or none..? I don't know the normal climate this time of year where you're from, as I'd imagine its different to over here in England, I don't know if its warm enough to keep a tank with no extra heat source.. but anyway, I swear by under tank/ side tank heat mats.

I have both, two 40 watt lamps, and a medium sized exo terra heat mat underneath the tank. The thermometer is placed on the side farthest away from the heat lamps, so it is probably warmer where they usually sit. It just concerned me that I had never noticed the spots before. This is gonna sound like a stupid question but they don't grow the spots do they? :P

Not that I am aware of. He probably had them all along. No biggie. I have two White's, one has white spots, the other doesn't.

I've read somewhere that they can get more spots as they get older. Is that true?

[Kurt]

Don't really know for sure.

I've heard somewhere that the amount of spots on a white tree frog indicates it's age. This theory is more common in species that were taken from the wild or were born in the wild. I could be wrong though.

It's true, the white spots on a whites is like us with gray hair. Here is my Het, I had him for almost 16 years he started out with 3 when I got him to this this pic doesn't even do him justice, he has so many!

Im not sure if it was already mentioned but i am not seeing a whites tree frog in the first pic. It looks to be some type of Rhacophorus.

You're right it doesn't look like a Whites. I think it was intended as a clear example of what the spots looked like. Sierra does (or did) have Whites, you can check her album. It's also from two years ago
