Yes. Frogs, like all amphibians, molt periodically. This can occur as often as once a week, though it usually is less frequent. The skin typically splits in the back, and the frog puffs up and works it forward, rubbing its arms against itself to pull it all off. Many amphibians will eat the molted skin as they remove it.

∙ 13y agoNot MOLT, per say. Molting is a term used to describe birds losing their coat of feathers and arachnids/crustaceans growing out of their shells and growing a new one. Snakes SHED, which means they grow out of their dead skin and into a new one.

∙ 11y agoAlligators are reptiles, and all reptiles shed their skin in some form. However, alligators do not shed their entire skin the way a snake does. As alligators grow, they shed part of their scaly skin, sometimes actively rubbing it off. This is so that new larger and denser scales can grow, making the alligator's skin very thick and strong by the time it is fully grown.

Do dwarf frogs molt?
Today when looking in my pond I noticed two floating objects which appeared to be the sloughed skin of a frog's fore-legs. At the edge of the pond close by was sitting a healthy looking frog whose front legs and digits looked like a perfect match for the slough, so I think frogs do moult.

Molting is a way in which the animal can shed off feathers, hair, horns, shell, or a layer of skin. In molting allows for new growth. Birds typically molt once a year, but some species molt up to three times a year. Mammals typically molt in the spring to get rid of the heavy coat. Deer they shed their antlers and grow another. Amaphibian (frog and toad) molts it skin every few weeks, expect in the winter. Lobster or other crustacean molt its exoskeleton in the spring/early summer.
