Sick red-eyed tree frog?

[sepgundamrg]

Ok. Maybe its case of stress or maybe one of his roommates peed on him. I would keep seperate for 3 days or so, just for observation

you think he got peed on?

Its possible. I remember many years back at a reptile show there was a ten-gallon tank at one of the vendor's tables. It was filled with red-eyed leaf froglets and one of them had some discoloration. The vendor said one of the other frogs had peed on him. Of course in all the years I have kept red-eyes and other frogs, I have never seen this in my own collection. So who knows?

Ah, so maybe I'm just lucky/unlucky lol. He seems perked up which is probly because he got to eat. Hopefully in 2 days he can go back in the house.

I have two red eyed tree frogs with a compact fluorescent light strip,(gives off a whitish light instead of normal)and sometimes when they sit to close to it it discolors them a little bit. This obviously isnt what your frog had, but its just something to keep in mind.(if you have a similar light)

Can you describe your setup? It sounds like maybe there was too much moisture and not enough ventilation.

Just got home from work and he is still splotchy now that his skin is darker.

My set-up is a large exo-terra upright terrarium, I can't remember what size it is but it was roughly 200 dollars when I got it around Christmas time, it was the 2nd largest available by them, the largest I could find in stores. The humidity fluctuates between 80 and 50% as the day goes on, but normally around 70%. The tank has a screen top and front opening doors with vents under the doors. The substrate is 30% leaf litter, 30% soil, and 30% coconut fiber. The bed is about 3-4 inches deep, with a 2 in drainage layer of large pebbles separated from the upper layer with window screening.

The tank is heavily planted with miscellaneous tropical plants and bromeliads.

Oh the temperature is around 75 degrees at any given time.

That's an old picture, the plants are thicker now and the brom isn't blooming but has 2 daughter plants that are half its size. The green tree frog in the picture is living happily in my backyard, but the brown tree frog still lives with me in my room.


Edit: tank is roughly 33 us. gallons, 24in tall, 18wide, 18deep

You know I hadn't even thought of ventilation. D'oh! Good ventilation is critical with treefrogs. Is the top of the enclosure glass or is it mesh?

The tank has a screen top and front opening doors with vents under the doors.

its a type of mesh
