    When they get that sort of glazed/plastic-like appearance, it usually means they are about the shed. He probably did it already.

    As for superworms, I only ever bother messing with the jaws for small frogs. My 3 African Bullfrogs get them "as-is". In the wild, these guys can eat much nastier things than a superworm.

    Okay, maybe I will pick up a small container of superworms. Just for a treat here and there for them. Kadesh will be in heaven if I brought those guys back. Spoiled, I tell you! Gherkin doesn't have the shine anymore, so he might have already done his thing. I will have to remember that and make sure the humidity is up in all the tanks to help them out. Thanks for the tip John!!

    He looks like a beast! Very nice.

    I'd be surprised if your frog didn't like superworms.
    I have a hard time getting mine to eat anything BUT superworms. lol
