no problem. after spending endless hours on that site, i tend to have most of the more popular images attributed to memory. this has to be a sign of some sort of illness.
Been there and done that. Except the frogs were twice as big and there were two of them, each latched onto a finger of my right hand. The bug-breathed buggers have teeth and a vice-like grip. They did NOT want to let go, preferring to swallow a bit more finger at every opportunity. I eventually found the solution: regular white vinegar. A drop of vinegar in the corner of the mouth of the frog and it dropped right off. The frog dropped off, not the finger.
And that is why we have medical forceps with which to feed our reptiles. The ornate horned frogs got me because I was in a rush (it was past working hours), they were watching me instead of looking down at the pinky mice wriggling at their feet and I was clueless. Once I had two ornate horned frogs adorning my fingers I no longer was clueless, and getting less clueless by the minute.
He gets fed with forceps, but transferring him to another container, I usually just pick him up (with clean, wet hands). The bites don't really hurt that much, so it's not a big problem for me to just extract my finger. He's full grown, but male.
The two I had on my fingers were serious in their attempt to eat whatever part of me they could swallow: they were clamped on like two pairs of pliers and neither turning them upside down or immersing them in water would discourage them. Only the vinegar discouraged them. I think your frog has learned that your hand is too big to swallow. ^_^
