    I got another picture, I noticed it sort of had structure when I held it up to the light. There's these little rectangular shapes, which probably isn't a good sign..

    I was going to say maybe it's shed skin but then I read rectangular shapes... like segments? Crud... I think you've got a tapeworm Put it in a bottle of rubbing alcohol to preserve it. You definitely need a frog vet (any vet really I'd think) for something like this, imo.
