Is it possible for frogs to become egg bound like bearded dragons? Or is it impossible because they lack the calcium shell? Just curious if anyone has ever experienced this with one of their frogs.

Absolutely possible for darts to become egg bound.

what about fat females that are without a male? Can not being bred result in eggbinding and death?

I don't know about the egg binding issue occuring in frogs. From everything I have read they reabsorb their eggs - or lay duds.

I have never lost a female to egg binding, but I have lost some to ruptured ovarian cysts (found on necrospy)

Never heard of egg bound females because they didn't have a mate only as a physical deformaty that caused eggs to be formed but could not leave the body. Maybe I mis understood the question.
