    Just from personal experience, this sounds completely normal to me. Mine does this with his tongue occasionally when he eats, it looks like some kind of white membraney thing oozing out of the sides of his mouth, as you described. I think they're just adjusting their tongues is all, you shouldn't have anything to worry about unless he starts doing something REALLY weird and something actually detaches from inside him and he pukes it up.

    I know it might be hard, but pictures could really help. It sounds normal to me but I haven't seen it, so don't take my word for it. It could be something completely different. D:

    Whatever it was, he has completely readjusted it now. I am just super paranoid with my frogs and I have heard of them thrwing up their stomachs before so I freaked out.
    God bless,

    I bought my very first whites tree frog from my former school and have had him for a month now. hes been doing the same thing. it looks like skin at the corner of his mouth and he moves all weird but his comes out of his mouth. i wonder if its part of the bugs he eats that his stomach cant digest or something. it worries me but he seems normal. i think its natural but i cant find anything on the internet about it.

    I'm no expert, but I was a little concerned with my White's frog who has been doing something similar recently, and I found a site stating that they shed pretty routinely, and it's normal. I'm hoping the info was pretty accurate because it sure is scary to see.

    I've read that they will throw up their stomach if they eat something toxic. Some people are stupid and give their frogs vinegar to get them to throw up there stomachs :| It's really sad.

    Why in the world would anyone intentionally make their frog throw up it's stomach?

    I would have freaked out about what you saw but, after reading everyone's posts it seems sort of normal and your little guy seems fine which is happy. I must admit I had the most awful pit in my stomach for you as I read through your first few distressed posts. I'm a paranoid frog owner too - you're not alone!

    Glad all is well with your White's.
