Hi there everyone,
About a month ago I took the leap and bought a 45x45x90 exoterra setup from Upmarket pets in Melbourne. It was already setup, so I just had to take it back, whack in some fresh water, give the filter a clean, and away I went. At teh same time I bought a juvenile White Lipped tree frog which was bright green - a very healthy looking specimen.
That was about a month ago. About 4 days in he slowly changed to a light brown colour and has stayed that way ever since. As of a bout a week a go he started presenting a few little dark brown spots, somewhat like large freckles. These spots have slowly darkened and more have appeared. Now, he's still feeding well, hasn't lost any weight and looks relatively healthy. Doesn't seem to be panting (read a bit about that fungus that presents with leopard spots), but I'm not sure. I have seemed to have found conflicting info abotu the spots. Some people say it's natural, and others refer to that article. Just wondering if anyone else can put their 2c worth in. Oh and his feet dont seem to be blotchy or red.
I also have some young Green Tree Frogs, of which one, seems to sit with hit mouth open a bit the past day. Ever since i got him, it seems as if his mouth didn't close properly (although he can close it). Not sure what this is. He seems to be panting though.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I apologise for the crappy pictures, I'll take some decent onces tomorrow and post.
(He seems a little redder because of the heat lamp above)

I coat the crickets i feed them in calcium powerdy stuff i've got, but he always seemed to gape a tiny bit ever since i got him... should i try putting some more powder on the crickets i give him?
