[Python] Switching Through Frames too fast

My character is switching through frames extremely fast and I dont know why. Ive tried changing the self.animation_speed but it doesnt do anything besides stalling when the game starts. can someone give me a fix?

get_frect is a floating point of get_rect its really useful. It comes from the pygame module addon called 'pygame-ce'

I tried changing self.animation_speed but it stalls until it starts. I have tried changing the framerate but it makes the character teleport when moving etc etc.
