    I'm so sorry. He was one of my favorites on this forum. Has he been acting different lately? And why do you blame yourself?

    He was beautiful. I am saddened by your loss.

    Thank you for your replies
    yesterday he came up in red spots on his tummy,about 5 of them and then he started to go very very dark almost black
    I was going to take him to the vets this morning,but he died in the night
    On another forum they said that his enclosure was too damp,I tried to keep it dry after an evening misting,Also they said I shouldnt have used coco husk
    Last week when I got my other two leaf frogs I saw how much more active they were compared to Desmond,It made me think he wasnt quite right He had been kept in a 20cm square tank in the pet shop
    I dont know if I should separate the other two as I know they should really be kept on there own,but these two had been kept together for a year in the pet shop,I Just want to do everything right for my remaining two

    So sorry, I've lost a couple of these myself, they're pretty hard to maintain in captivity for a long period of time.

    Sorry to hear it. Sometimes infections just move too quickly and it is too late by the time you catch any symptoms. Best of luck with your others.
