    Ginger's right you don't have too much to worry about as long as this problem doesn't reoccur and doesn't seem to be causing any problems for him in the future. If you see him start to shed and it looks like he's having trouble you can always just spray him gently with some water (treated would be best) and see if that helps, I spray my White's whenever I see him shedding to make sure he doesn't have any problems.

    If he's not eating this could just be apart of his adjustment period. All frogs go through this when they first enter a new home or move, some don't eat, some act erratically, some hide or sleep all day and night. This is normal for about a month when you first bring them home, after that he should adjust.

    Hi! I realize this post is quite old but I'm having a similar issue. I took my white's Keahi out today for a photo session and noticed she has some brown dry skin on one side of her, behind her leg. Other than that everything seems fine so I'm assuming it's a shedding problem. Here's the best picture I could get of it:

    I just put her back and sprayed her a little and I'm going to try giving her a warm bath for a few minutes to see if that helps.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions or ideas to what this might be if it's not shedding?
