can you put up a pic froggy?
brown spots can be caused by contact with human skin sometimes

hope this helps if it works

don't know if u can see the spots or not

 

[froggy]

no u can't see the spots. i tried a close up but that didn't work sorry

When you click on the pic to enlarge it you can just see them, it's a bit blurry though.
I don't know much about frogs but I have seen a chocolate coloured white-lipped tree frog, hopefully your little guy doesn't have anything wrong with it but is just going through a colour change, the brown doesn't look localised to any particular area so hopefully this is the case.

I can see the spots and theyre not what i was thinking, which is more like a blotch than a spot..
Do you need higher humidity for white lips than regular green tee frogs?
Sometimes camouflage can also play a role in colour changes but if you are worried or the insides of the legs redden or it starts losing weight,seek an expert from the frog forum.

yes, as jordo as mentioned hopefully he is just changing colour, they do that depending on mode, where there sitting etc.

There is information in the health and disease section of the frog community that you will need to read regarding your frogs problem. You can also post there to get specific help for you frog, follow the sticky post in health and disease to see what info you will need to supply in your first post. I can't post all the info you will need as it is to detailed.

The Brown isn't a issue in it self most of the time it it is the "leopard print" that is a sign of problems.
