Do toads shed or molt their skin?
Yes. Toads shed their skin but they don’t leave it behind like a snake. They eat it. If the toad is busy shedding, leave them alone. They will look shiny and they will often be puffed up in a funny position as if sitting up. After they shed the old skin, the toad will look clean and light in color. When a toad is very dark, they are often ready to shed. This is a normal practice for toads and I’ve never encountered one in my 28 years with toads who needed any assistance.
