hi lynn thank u so much for ur input.
i guess it could look like a burn. iv checked the top mesh screen and that doesnt feel hot but im guessin that designed not to. i put my hand there and i guess it could be warm and like u say with their skin bein so sensitive it could b the cause. i did catch her sleepin up in the lil crook again this mornin. i may try to either put somethin there so she cant sit in there or take the background out like u suggested. i am gettin a larger tank next weekend so will check that background aswell and make sure there arent any ledges for her to sit so high up.
i have a heat mat placed at the back on the bottom half which is behind thebackground and has a foam sheet outside the tank to keep the heat in but that doesnt feel hot so i dont think it is anythin to do with that. iv not noticed the plastic gettin hot but ill definately keep an eye (or finger) out for that just incase.
today she doesnt look any worse. it still doesnt seem to bother her and she was eatin and jumpin around last nite fine. i think it does look like it could b healing. iv put some pics thta iv just this second took and a pic of the hole she sometimes sits in at the top.
the top of the canopy does feel pretty warm. what do u think about the bulb im using? its a repti glo 10.0 uvb bulb. theres so many different opinions on bulbs i went with wot they said at the shop (they r highly reccomended). with the new tank ill b using two seperate canopies (tank is 60cm length and i have 2x 30cm canopies) so id like to make sure i get the right bulbs if u think this is wrong. i dont know if switchin to a red/blue bulb would b better. im quite confused about the lighting situation.
if it is a burn does anyone know of anything i can put on the frog or anythin that mite help the healing?
thank u so much.

Hi Mim,

I'm glad to hear she is "no worse".
That is exactly where I thought she was sitting!!!! Littler bugger . They find their spots and then don't budge ! I'm not crazy about those darn backgrounds. I suspended pothos across the top of my enclosure. However, I do not know how proficient Whites are w/their climbing skills compared to Red Eyes? My little group typically use the vines to get around. So they were suspended w/ that in mind. It might work for Whites? There is a close up photo of the suspended vines in my enclosure album , if you are interested.

If you are maintaining plants install a florescent on the ceiling ? ( w/ plant bulbs) or as Grif has mentioned, a 2 is plenty. WAY above the top. That plastic rim is some wacky material! It actually might be worth a call to exo-terra! They should be the ones explaining why it gets so hot.

Talk to you soon
Lynn

ok well i went to the chemist to find out the neosporine contains neomycin which is an antibiotic and u cannot buy them over the counter in the uk. bummer! Mycitracin also contains antibiotics. i will ask my friend who owns a small pet shop if he has any suggestions of what to use as he has some knowledge of stuff like this. if anyone has any other suggestions of anythin that can be bought over the counter in uk thatd help, if not i mite try order it off amazon. is this the correct one?

thank u all for ur help
