Does it just shed bits at a time? They really should shed all of their skin within a couple days, and usually they eat it for nutrition. You really need to be careful about the tiny toes and tail tip not shedding. The skin can constrict blood flow and make them fall off! If this is a problem, give him a hut with some moist moss for a bed. The humidity will help him shed all at one time. For serious cases, you may need to put him in a container with a little water for 10 minutes or so, maybe with a drop of baby oil, and work the skin gently off with a cotton swab, careful not to injure the toes! Make sure there is a heating pad or light on one side of the cage and it gets around 85F. If it is too hot or dry, it may make things worse, so get a thermometer. Make sure he has enough calcium by offering some 2:0 calcium poder in a dish so he can lick it up whenever he wants. Hope this helps! Maybe he just eats so much that he is growing out of his skin that fast!

that sounds really nasty. Maybe it's stressed. Take it to the vet.
