Mysterious pacman death...

That's a pretty good precautionary step. So I should treat a new frog with this, even if I don't know the frog has it? I didn't think it would take this long for something like that to take effect, but then again perhaps there was signs this past year and a half that I just didn't catch... Thanks for your help! I'll definitely keep the treatment in mind if I decide to get another frog!

I believe the gestation period is around 18 to 28 days before it becomes full blown infection to where it can kill the frog. Usually after it begins to attack the frog it causes excessive shedding/very dry bad sheds/lesions/sores/and discoloration mainly in the infected areas. Some cases this doesn't fully show these signs which is why you would have to get the frog tested by a specialist or vet.

You can treat you new frog with the method Jessica described above. Quarantine your frog in a hospital setup. Use only moist paper towels as a substrate and change them after each treatement. Also clean the hospital tank each time as well to be sure not to reinfect the frog. Just fallow the steps and all should be fine. You can still try to feed while putting your frog through this treatment.

Ah okay, well that explains why I hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary with him, if it sometimes doesn't show. I will definitely be using that treatment next time. Thank you.
