    I had a heater do that a while back. The built in thermostat is fried. I actually observed mine getting slowly higher over a couple hour period even when it was cranked all the way down.
    By the way I don't think that frog looks bloated. He looks well fed. They have the ability to store lots of fat on thier bodies. Mine only get fed 2 times a week because the like the food too much. One of my males is just as guilty as the females too.

    The clamped-shut feet are a concern to me. Any idea what that could be?

    I think it's hard to tell from the pictures but if the frog is able to swim, he can more than likely move his feet just fine so I don't really understand and it's hard to tell from just pictures.

    I didn't think the frog was bloated either, most X. Laevis are fat. I've had to reduce feeding mine too since they're starting to chunk up.
