    This explains the stuck in mouth tongs and cant get them out. I was skeptical about the teeth. When i pull the tongs out . It feels like its rubbing on teeth. Nice work Jess. You need a good cam for that.

    Technically, most frogs have teeth, just only in the upper jaw and none in the lower jaw (with one exception having re-evolved lower jaw teeth in apparent defiance of Dollo's Law). Toads have completely lost their teeth in both upper and lower jaws.

    Interestingly, their teeth are unique. Unlike most animals, where the tooth is a single, whole structure, in frogs the tip and base of each tooth are connected by a layer of fibrous connective tissue. When most animals shed teeth, the whole tooth comes out, but frogs lose only the tips. Only modern and extinct amphibians have teeth like this

    That's very interesting. I found out the hard way while trying to measure my pac. They feel like a little serrated saw.

    Very interesting. I knew their teeth differed from other animals, but I didn't know the specifics. Thank you for enlightening us!

    I have heard so many people say that the teeth were nothing more than myth......I used to say "Get bitten once and you will know better!" This subject is a female frog, adult. Her name is Godiva because when she emerged, she was all shades of brown and looked like some exotic lump of chocolate. I just had to get the pics to prove the existence of the teeth. I am lucky to still have all my fingers!!

    No need to be more scared, just more respectful when handling the frog. We always, always, always approach our frogs from behind when going to handle them. It is less stressful to them as well......would you like giant hands coming at your face???
    Although the teeth are small, they are razor sharp and can slice.....believe me, I KNOW!!

    When I have to pick Tank up I cup my hand around his backside and then lift right behind his jaw. That way he can't scoot back and turn
    . It works pretty good.

    Is there a better way if you have to pick them up?

    I pick Grif up with both hands. I scoop Grif up from behind by sliding my hand under her beneath the substrate to where my fingers support all four legs then use the other hand to support the rest of the body from the sides. As long as you're gentle they shouldn't be stressed or get angry. This also depends on the Pacman though.

    Yeah, Tank seems fine with it too. He never acts stressed. But of course, I think he pretty much just associates me with his feeder.

    I sure wouldn't want to get bit by him now that he's getting bigger. He chomps those crickets hard. When he catches them with them part way out of his mouth you can hear them crunch. Wouldn't want that to be a finger.

    If Grif go ahold of me I know id be bleeding. Sometimes when she chomps her crickets she bites them in half or they get stuck on her teeth and I help pull it off with the forcepts Lol! Deffinetly don't want to get bit, but I know its coming eventually. Accidents happen. Grif doesn't mind much. She's used to me. I can do whatever I want in her tank even infront of her mouth.
