    It would be good if you could take a better picture, but for now it looks like a cricket bite or something to me. I would lower humidity and heighten heat for a little while to help keep bacteria from congregating, and also if you get really worried you can apply Neosporin WITHOUT PAIN RELIEF (pain killer will kill your frog) to stave off infection.

    I'm not sure how serious this is, but you should post your temp/humidity and what size tank you have, also what substrate, what plants you're using, and decor, along with what you feed the frog and how often. This will be helpful in further diagnoses.

    Humidity & temp are @ 75.......the tank is 12"x12"x18" ...... the substrate is coconut husk, the plants are soft silk terrarium plants and the branch is smooth plastic material.... I feed them crickets every other day usually around 6 for both to share & the crickets are feed orange cube cricket diet

    Are these types of frogs poisonous?

    Its a rubbed snout. Sometimes frogs with repeatedly rub their snouts on the sides or top of their enclosure in an attempt to escape. This is especially true of wild caught frogs. To remedy this, place more plants in the enclosure. Treat the wound with Neosporin without any kind of pain reliever.

    Agalychnis callidryas is not toxic.
