I've got 2 dwarf african frogs, and today I noticed that one of them appears to be "peeling". I can see wisps of clear "skin" hanging off of it, from all over his body. The other frog isn't doing it.

Do frogs molt? Or is this a bad thing happening?
 
yes, ADF shed their skin pretty frequently from what I understand. I have had mine about a month, and the first time he did, it scared the crap out of me!!! But no fear, your frog is fine!
 
Yup. Totally normal. Also don't be surprised if you see his shed skin hanging out of his mouth. Mine would eat his molt on occasion.
