Amphibians do not have hard scales. Their skin is smooth. It is covered in a thin layer of mucus to keep it moist.

Why amphibians are devoid of scales?

Amphibians are devoid of scales because they are descendants of fish, which also lack scales. Early amphibians evolved from lobe-finned fish, which had bony plates in their skin instead of scales. Over time, these bony plates transformed into the smooth, moist skin characteristic of modern amphibians. This adaptation allowed for better gas exchange through the skin, crucial for their semi-aquatic lifestyle.

Does a frog have scaly skin?

For the most part extant amphibians do not have scaly skin, but early amphibians (the ones that ventured onto land first) are thought to have had scaly, fish-like, skin. A possible exception to extant amphibians having scaly skin are those of the Order Gymnophionia and a few anurans which have somatic dermal bone. Amphibians of Gymnophionia are earthworm/snake like amphibians that have not been widely studied.
