Question

Bump thing... I have a tank full of Barking Tree Frogs (Hyla gratiosa)and one has a large red bump, almost like a huge pimple, on its rear. I believe it is female because of its colors. We just installed a new bulb that heats the tank instead of just giving it light. Is this something i should worry about? Please reply. Thank YOU

Answer
Hello Evelyn,

Oh boy, it looks like a prolapse. A prolapse is where an organ & the surrounding muscles have collapsed outside of the body. That can be caused by improper nutrition, low calcium or impaction.
What are the temperatures in the tank & do you have a thermometer to measure the temperatures? Do you use calcium supplementation currently?
What type of foods do you feed her? How old is she?

What is the humidity in the tank?
