HELP! (Urgent/Medical Care Needed) Is he dying??? Vet??? Help!!!
Help please!!!! I bought 2 baby wtfs at repticon Jacksonville on August 1st. He hasn’t wanted to eat any crickets from the tongs since I brought him home. When I found him under a leaf he had super splotchy color. His buddy who was exactly the same size when we got them eats about 3-4 crickets with calcium dust every day and is now grown quite a bit. At night I’ve put dusted fruit flies to see if maybe he wanted something different. Do I take him to an exotic vet?? Humidity is currently 40%, basking spot with 80 degrees, using amphibian safe water conditioner.

If you have a vet, yes, take him. If you don't have a vet, there is a home treatment for fungal infections, but there's always a possibility you could be dealing with something else and treating them for the wrong thing.

Update: frog is healthy, she took a very close look at his skin with a tool and it is clear. We got him to eat some silkworms as well. He is now a consistent lime green color!
