White Discoloration on Adult Dendrobates Tinctorius

Hello everyone, I have noticed a white discoloration on my adult female Dendrobates Tinctorius Azureus. She is over 5 years old and I have read that adult frogs can get this kind of discoloration with age. She has lots of energy and always eats very well.

For reference, she is kept with one adult male of similar age and their parameters are kept at 75 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity between 90-99%

I do 3 large feedings every week with a scheduled rotation of Repashy Calcium Plus, RepCal Calcium with Vitamin D3, RepCal Herptivite, and Repashy Vitamin A Plus.

Any comments would be helpful to calm my worry!

Unfortunately, 18x18x18 get recommended alot for darts, which just isn't good advice. Additionally, darts in general, but especially tincs, are suggested to be more terrestrial, which again, just isn't true. Any dart species will use every square inch, height included, in a well designed vivarium.

Hydrometers aren't really reliable, and often times give readings that are much higher than what the actual humidity is. This leads to less misting than required and dry tanks.
