    Mark,
    By them, do you mean the Tapeworms Segments/Cricket Egg cases, the crickets themselves, or the frogs?

    Update: I talked with the Exotic Vet Yesterday about Gnag's blue spots, and he said to take a Q-tip, and dab it with a tiny little bit of saline (sp?) or warm conditioned water, as all they may be is an abnormal shed. I'm going to do this tonight, hopefully that's all it is. If the blueish skin doesn't come off, it's most likely a bacterial infection. However, the larger spots are nearly completely gone, and the one that looks like a bite or ulcer seems to be healing.

    As for the Tapeworms, I'm going to have to wait until I find a firm Feces and manage to keep it fully intact before I can get a Fecal Exam done. Does anyone know how to "prepare" the feces for a fecal exam?

    Gnag and Bumpy are both eating and acting normally, Gnag even got a few waxworms as a treat last night and he gobbled them down instantly (Bumpy, for some reason, only ever eats crickets.)

    Thanks for the advice, everyone
    My Amphibians:
    1.0.0 Rana Catesbiana (Bumpy Digtoad )
    1.0.0 Pseudacris Regilla (Levi )
    1.1.0 Ambystoma Macrodactylum (Urtham and Gargan )
    2.2.0 Bombina Orientalis ( Rosa, Sasha, Aleksis, and Dimitri )

    Rest in Peace, Gnag the Nameless, Chrome, and Thermidor
