is this enough pic's to tell from pic's?

Looks to me like you got a normal healthy little chubby pacman frog. I wouldnt worry about it. If thats bloat, then all mine have bloat. Thats just a happy little pacman.

NO THATS A MAD PACMAN, BECAUSE WHEN I SAW HER I STARTED TO MESS WITH HER. I HEATED THE WATER IN HER LITTLE TUB ( 80 DEGREES), AND PUT HER IN IT. I MADE HER GET OUT OF HER WHOLE 4 TIMES, SO I COULD CHECK HER OUT. I LOVE MY LITTLE PACMAN. WHEN I WAS YOUNG I WASN'T ALOUD TO HAVE ANY PETS ( A DOG 1 TIME), WE MOVED TO MUCH. NOW I HAVE A DOG "YAPPIE", A LIZARD "PACCO", AND GABBIE. NOW TO GET TO THE POINT I'VE READ ALOT OF YOUR COMMENTS AND YOUR REPLY MADE ME FEEL A LOT BETTER. I FEEL I CAN TRUSTED YOUR REPLYS TY.

Doesn't at all look like bloat, just a healthy pacman. Looks like a sudden bloat hysteria has come upon this forum, 3 posts about bloat in just a few days :O
Here is a pic of "Bloat" on(In?) a "Hymenochirus Boettgeri" (Curtipes?).

I'm no scientifically backed herper like EDK. I'm just going off my personal experience with all my herps and trying to help out where I can. I came to this board when I got my first pacman and got a lot of helpful info and would like to keep things going in the tradition of the board. I also think we got a little bloat scare going across the board as it just shows many care for their animals. I know when I first got here I was so worried because my pac hadnt eaten in like a week since the day I got him and I was freaking out and there were those here to assure me she was going to be alright.

I dont think it's bloat. I have had two frogs die of bloat in the last year and a half and your Gabby just looks like a happy little pacman. Bloat doesn't just affect the stomach but the legs and arms as well. I had a green tree frog that had it and the picture that cokeofman posted is what he ended up looking like at the end. Just keep an eye on Gabby and watch for any strange behaviors. Also the more you move her about the more you can stress her just let her be and observe. Hope this helped. Good luck.

Bloat particuarly in the early stages may not include the limbs. It is common to see bloat only in the torso.

I don't think he's bloated in an unhealthy way. Looks like he's just full-up from his last meal.
