Leucs, to worry or not?

kyle1745 Jun 21, 2003 09:20 AM

One of my Leucs has lighter spots forming in the yellow part of the skin. The frog seems fine, and is eating, and moving around. I just wondered if this was anything to worry about or not. I will try to get a picture of it. They look like spots, but are fadded.

Kyle,

Looks like the frog is maturing, mine all began to get additional spots, starting as faint spots on the yellow and turning black over 2-4 weeks. They usually start around 6-7 months and continue to get them until fully mature 12-18 months.

Your the second person to tell me that so I feel a little better now. I was starting to get a little worried. I think my Leucs are about 6-7 months old. My male is already calling.
