    Okay, that really doesn't look good. If she was healthy beforehand, she wouldn't look like that after just 8 days. There was probably something underlying wrong before you noticed this. You need to answer the questions in the 'Trouble in the Enclosure' sticky before anyone can really give any advice.

    You need to take your frog to a Herp Vet ASAP. Looks to be Hypocalcemic. If you are using a daylight bulb then you need to stop. Albinos are hypersensitive to bright lights and UVB radiation. You should only use Infrared bulbs with Albinos and never should any bulb exceed 50 watts.

    Answer these questions http://www.frogforum.net/pacman-frog...nclosure.htmlu and repost the answers here in your thread.

    If you would please post your pictures again. For some reason when I deleted your duplicate post it removed your photos and will not allow me to review them in your links.

    Thank you.

    Well everything looks ok.

    Do you use a multivitmin powder?

    Does your calcium powder contain Vitamin D3?

    Update On my Albino Pacman Her tung was sticking out but i was able to get that back in and when i did she swallowed 2 big swallows and her tung is back to normal again and also i soaked her in non flavored pedialite and water for 20 min, after that her color came back and she seems like she has alittle energy now i am going to leave her alone for the night and i will try to feed her tomorrow or the next day heres hoping for a speedy recovery for pork that is her name. thanks to this site for the info because there is no herp vet for a 100 miles around where i live so we will see..

    Do you know what her conditions were before you got her, like what she was fed?
    All your stuff sounds right. I was just thinking depending on her diet before like if she were being fed fish or something maybe long-term parasites could cause that sort of malnutrition. Because an adult shouldn't go from being normal to being that skinny after just a week of not eating.

    Another thought; it looks like she isn't retaining water like most pacs do. Not sure what that would mean, but it strikes me as odd.

    Honestly, you probably need to go to a herp vet if you can. This looks pretty bad and there's no obvious cause for it.
