I'm not sure if she's sick?

[Immortal]

I just noticed tonight that Orchid has a couple tiny brown spots on her. One on her head and one a bit further down her back. They are dark brown, not a lot of colour. I have no idea if this is something she is sick with, or if frogs shed their skin a bit at all? I didn't even notice it earlier when she was bright green. I know there are no vets that would be able to treat a frog in my area. I'd have to go like 3 hours away and I don't know if that's even possible. Any advice would help! I could take pictures if needed.

Sometimes they get little spots on them and then they go away or are just part of her markings.

If they don't look like burns or seem to be bothering her, then it would be time to take action. If you can point them out in one of your nice pics then someone might be able to tell you and I more.

The photos I took the other day don't show anything at all, I just re-checked them. The pet store told me to let them know if she is sick or anything happens, I have a week guarantee and I got her a week ago tomorrow. I don't really care about the guarantee.. I love her too much to give her back for a healthy frog lol!

If I still notice them tomorrow I'll take some photos of it. Just odd how it didn't show up earlier but did at night when she got dark.

I did find out with Oodinium that you can heal it by putting them in distilled water and if need be with chamomile.

Are they little spots like mine have occasionally? See pic below.

Yeah that's what they look like. Just a couple random ones. I can't seem to notice them now. She's sleeping and bright green. Maybe they don't show up as well on the light green skin?

The spots are pretty common and will sometimes be there and then sometimes in another spot or all over the back for some reason. Then sometimes they have no spots at all when they brown over. Not sure why but mine have done this from day one.


Ever notice your red eye doesn't touch the substrate unless he/she has to? Mine never touch the ground and go from plant to plant to vine and so on.

She doesn't seem to want to be on the ground really no. One day she slept on the ground though, I wondered if she was okay but she was, so I left her there lol. I have a tiny hill build up in one corner, I might get more dirt and build up the entire back and put her food somewhere around there so she doesn't have to go way down for it. But yeah she's never really on the ground.

Look at my Red Eye's Home and see how I planted the plants to have levels of leafs down low so they can get to the water and the cricket bowl without touching the substrate. The pics are older and the plant front right is now with four levels of leafs and is nearing the top.

Might give you some ideas on filling in more. Just don't use the arrow plant in the front left corner since the fluid from the stems is poisonous and isn't good for the frog. I'll remove it some day but they don't go anywhere near it right now.
