White stuff PLEASE HELP!

The mold and the frogs nose. Many tanks mold as part of the cycling process, Misting the mold a few times a day with RO or Distilled water can usually fight back some of the molding process.

Usually this mold is only a light thin white covering on wood type items. I don't think it would transfer to the frogs face though. I could be wrong.

The stuff coming off the nose should be shed since they shed pretty regularly but pics should help with determining the problem.

Agreed.

There is a picture of this noise, and i circled the mold. There wasnt as much as my fiance was saying there was. His nose almost looks like it has mucus on it.

I would pull and replace all the moss but I don't believe that is what is wrong with the frog. This looks more like a mucus on the frogs face probably due to a bacterial infection. If so, it can be passed on to other frogs and should be separated and made comfortable in a separate tank.

As for the mucus, hopefully someone with experience in bacterial infections can pipe in and suggest a course of action to help your frog. Best bet is a herp vet since I would guess meds are the only thing going to clear this up.

If i could get some more help about the toadies nose that would be great!

I agree with Don. The white filmy substance on the nose looks like a mucus. I would remove the frog from the tank and put him in a basic enclosure until your appointment with a vet. Remove the moss and do a complete tank cleaning and keep an eye on the others. Infections are easily transmitted from frog to frog.

Kristy and Don are both right and I am sorry to say that I don't believe you can treat this infection due to its location. Being directly infront of the nasal passages makes it extremely difficult to apply any antibacterial ointment without getting any in the frogs nostrels. I would get the little guy to a vet ASAP before it spreads to the repitory system and becomes more complicated. Antibiotics are necissary at this point and probably oral ones at that. Good luck and I hope he recovers soon.
