Retained shed?

[LilyPad]

I think one of the new frogs has retained shed. All 3 of them had really dry skin when I picked them up. When I put them in their enclosure I misted them all right away to help and I sprayed again this morning to try to get the humidity up. Tonight I checked on them, and 2 looked a million times better, the 3rd one though, looks like it's skin is unusually tight and just "off" looking. I tried to get it out so I could take a pic but it freaked out and hid so I'm leaving it for a bit.

What do I do for retained shed? Just keep misting? Should I take it out to soak for a bit?

I am bumping this up because I do still think this frog is having trouble with shed. It also seems a bit overweight (from the previous owner) so I'm wondering if that's why the skin looks funny to me. I will try to get a pic tonight but this frog is the only one of the four that is terrified of me!

Pics would definitely help. Retained shed is not really a problem with amphibians unless chytrid infection is involved.

Definitely doesnt look infected...I remember with iguanas, retained shed can = dead body parts! So I was hoping that wasnt the case with the frog. I will try to get pics when I get home tonight, generally it doesnt let me catch him/her and would never stay still on me or anything long enough for me to snap a pic, but I'll try.

Try soaking them in that pedialyte mixture? That might help re-hydrate.

Maybe, I will take some pics tonight so you can see, I might just be overreacting because it's not exactly the same as the others LOL
