I have a tomato frog (Dyscophus antongili) that is captive bred and have had
him for well over five months, he's in a planted terrarium with eco earth substrate
and eats every second day on large crickets. lately this morning ive noticed him on
one corner of his tank with a piece of what looks like skin possibly on the corners of
his mouth? im not sure but if he is shedding, what should i do? i mist his enclosure
twice in the morning and afternoon daily and his temps range from 75 to 85 degrees.
Help is greatly appreciated

Seems normal to me. You should mist the frog to make sure that shedding is complete. Many amphibians will eat the shed. It contains some nutritional value.
