Chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease that spreads through wild populations of frogs. Chytrid fungus is transferred through exposure to infected water. If you are certain that your frog comes from a reputable source, and that you haven't exposed it to infected water yourself, then there is no need for concern. If your frog does show some health issues take it to the exotics veterinarian for a check-up.
Your frog doesn't show any symptoms of Chytridiomycosis.
Your frog shows one common symptom of Chytridiomycosis. Since some of the symptoms may point out to other health issues, it cannot be said with certainty that your frog does suffer from Chytridiomycosis. Place your frog in the container without touching it and take it to the exotics veterinarian for confirmation. If your veterinarian confirms Chytridiomycosis, the frog will have to be euthanized.

Sreten null
Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
