    Default Mouth Deformation

    Ive come to notice that my frog has a mouth deformation. His mouth has an overbite with the top jaw exceeding further than the bottom.

    I was wondering if anyone has ever encountered this problem before. If so, did it cause any major problems for your frog?

    I agree, post a pic and some more info on the frog would be helpful to anyone that many have an answer. Suggestions: Age of frog, how long you have had the frog, if it is something that has recently occured or has always been there, and has it changed or not changed in appearance.

    I kinda noticed something wrong with his mouth when I first got him but he was too small (less than one month old) to tell for sure.

    Heres a picture...notice the top part of his mouth exceeding the lower

    Do you have a picture from the front, so we can see where the jaws meet?
