RO water is fine for misting and fog machines, but that's it. Purchase a Hygrometer as well so you can read the humidity levels in the tank. After you get help for your guy first. The need for a mineral filled water source is necessary. If you are not using a mineral additive the water is not good for your frogs as a drinking/soaking source.
    OK, I quarantined Him with warm De chlorinated water. In a tuppaware container im going to take him to the vet. Thanks for your advice.

    You did the right thing. I'm on the verge of taking my White's to the vet, most likely tomorrow since I just got paid tonight and I'm off tomorrow. Wishing you luck and keeping my fingers crossed for your baby.

    Glad to hear he is getting help, I hope all goes well with your little guy.

    You want to get a Hygrometer. I have a waterfall and a pond in my tank and the humidity is around 58-65% without spraying. I still have to spray once a day to maintain the right levels.
