    Exclamation Clear blob coming from cloaca

    I saw my tomato frog Bob in his water dish and saw this small
    white clear blob that seems to be getting bigger i dont know
    what it is though. i doubt its anything serious, it dosent look
    like skin though and its not a prolapse, once he hopped out of
    his water bowl, the blob stayed there.

    It is mucus. Keep a close eye on him and what color any further expelled mucus is. This can be caused by various things some good and some very bad.

    Ok then. Keep an eye on the color of the mucus. If it becomes really pink or reddish he will need a Vet.
