Dont Panic right away.

Whites naturally have a pinkish tinge on their legs. How are they eating? do your frog(s?) seem listless? any other sypmtons. also what size, temp, subsrait, ect,is in your enclosure?

If In Doubt, Go See a Vet

they eat fine.i have 2 in a 29 gallon tall tank.i have plenty of hides.a water bowl.the temp is around 70-78 degrees and humidity is about 50-70%.i have paper towls as substrate.they have just recently started climbing the walls after about 2 months in the tank.and they are healthy looking and walking around.my only concern is that the legs are not pink but not red its like in the middle.

Is it possible for you to get a picture?

Eihter way I'll try to get a pic of the underside of my whites tonite and you can compare.

But I wouldnt worry too much yet. Red Leg is a disease cause by bacterial build up, and your enclosure sounds quite sanitary, as long as the papertowel is changed very often. if its kept moist that get nasty quite quickly.
