White specks on White's tree frog

[Sierra]

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

[Kurt]

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.

[bshmerlie]

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 did searching for answers, when they start, size of spots realitive to age. Even went and got whites books, it's all a grey area, or a spotted area?!?! Because age of mine unknown I was thinking I could use spot size to get a guess. And mine aren't the white raised spots but white with darker circle, weird there's two kinds of markings.

Yes, they do grow spots. Some of mine did not have any and seemingly with age, they grew more. Some of mine do not have any at all, its just a physical characteristic like a big nose or brown hair, its most likely genetic and not thought to be environmental. The white spots you talk about with a black outline are the same on mine. My oldest started off with 2 spots, now with age he has about 7.

whites spots are normal on alot of treefrogs, but yes they are normal in whites as well.. normally they do not get any bigger than say 1/4"

here is a picture of a group of frogs I lost about 3 years ago. They are
Rhacophorus Bipunctatus and they had spotting on 2 of the 3 that looked just like the one ones RETF's

do they look like this
