Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Red-eyed Tree Frog Problem
My father has a student that is having problems with her RETF. I'm extremely new to keeping frogs and haven't seen this problem myself so don't know anything based upon the description I received.
It seems that the frog has devoloped little white spots on it's back that turn black. It also seems lethargic to the student. As I'm approx. 250 miles away I am having to offer suggestions as to cause and solution. Their nearest reptile vet is a minimum of 120 miles away.
I have suggested cleaning the enclosure and all non-plant decorations with bleach followed by a mild detergent and huge amounts of repeated rinsing to make sure that no bleach or soap residue are left behind. Then change the substrate.
Also suggested increasing the calcium dusting of crix to 3 to 4 times a week just to make sure that she is doing so. Along with this I stated that she needs to make sure the temps are a warm enough and suggested that she research it herself but approx 78 to 84 degrees would not be too warm.
Please give any suggestions or answers, especially if you have seen anything resembling this before. Wish I was of more help but that's the best I got this evening. Thanks in advance.

Lack of ventilation and excessive humidity. Please pardon brevity.

No problem with the brevity. I had wondered about that, so I was partially correct in initial diagnosis but lacking in other areas. Thank you.
