Shedding Skin

[DVirginiana]

Oftentimes mine will start shedding when I'm soaking her. She'll just puff up and shed there in the bath. Happens a bit too often to be coincidence... Can't tell if it's a stress thing, or if she's just taking advantage of being in water to get it off easier. She's pretty chill though, so I lean more toward it being easier to remove in the water

Frogs don't actually shed to grow like reptiles do. Although they may shed more frequently during periods of growth it is just as every other function in the body speeds up so does frequency of shedding. It is supposedly controled by their Thyroid gland.

Of course it is also a small means of nourishment when eaten and to replace the old protective layer of mucus which has since dried up with the old skin.
