Skin Shedding?

African Clawed Frogs do shed their skin. This is perfectly natural. They replace old skin with new every few weeks when they grow or when it's worn. It looks like a thin film coming off and they usually eat it after shedding. Excess skin shedding can be a sign of skin parasties or pollution or chemicals in the water.
