Frogs Allways look shiny wet?

[FishChum]

Should my frogs always look shiny and wet, they seem to get a little dull at times, still wet just not that glossy wet look all the time.

My frogs always look wet and shiny right before they are about to shed.

I didn't even know frogs shed. Thanks! My frogs (bronze mantellas) have been growing, they where young when i got them.

You probably didn't realize it because they swallow it.

I don't know how other frogs do it but it's probably all similar. I have whites tree frogs and when they shed they puff out their bodies very big to the point they look like they will explode and then they suck their stomach way back in one side at a time, it looks like they are "heaving" and you can see the shed skin going into the sides of their mouths. They will also pull it over their heads with their hands. It's all very cool.

"I like" your comment, Patsy. Yes, it sounds very cool.
