Sick red-eyed tree frog?

But even when they're hiding in shade, wouldn't they be able to get some UV rays? Like people who sit in the shade and get a sunburn?

[Kurt]

I have never known anyone that got a sunburn in the shade.

[1beataway]

Me neither, actually. It was very late when I wrote that and I was falling asleep. I think I meant more how it's said you should still wear sunscreen even when in the shade. I assumed that though the frogs are hiding, there's still some benefit gained from the sun's UV rays.

[Kurt]

OK. Point being UV is not critical for most amphibians. It is, however, critical for most turtles and lizards.

I have a litle problem whit my REF-s. At the night they are brow? Why? Is that some kind of disease?

[Kurt]

No, after dark they darken in colour, this quite normal. So don't worry about it.

Wow I am glad to find these last two posts! Mr. Big turns brow at night when creeping around for his food but then light green when sleeping on the side of his cage. Its been freaking me out! I would hate to see him die or get sick before I can get his new set up going.
