    Laputa's legs always look a little purplish red, but they've been like that for a while, even while her leg was broken. Which I'm sorry if it doesn't relate, but your frogs legs look the way Laputa's did while she was sick... Her arms did that too while she was sick, but has since gone away, and I haven't noticed her back legs being purplish anymore, maybe in a few small areas?

    Hmm... interesting.. I'm hoping that the little guy's just stressed out, but I'd like someone to try confirm for me :/

    If dragons were real I'd totally be in on that...

    Sorry Gabby ,
    It's very difficult to tell.

    These little guys are giving you sleepless nights.
    It is very difficult for WC frogs to adjust to captivity.

    I'm sure you know; the first thing to do, however, is to isolate him form the others.

    There may be somewhere you could have him tested: Frog Safe, Inc is a great site!
    This sites also has additional information including great cleaning tips:

    Red leg looks like broken vessels. Sadly when this is seen the disease is far along.

    If you should see any broken skin - use an antibiotic ointment, such as Tritop or Neosporin ( WITHOUT PAIN RELIEF)
    I have read bad things about Reptoheal and Newskin --causing additional problems on the extra fragile skin of their inner legs.
