sound like he has just shed! its really interesting to watch (if you are up to see it!)

over a couple of days mine go off their food a bit and seem a bit grumpy (not coming out as much etc) their skin goes grey-whitish and they start their shed by rubbing against the rocks etc, it starts to peel back from the nose and they peel it away and eat it all!

When they take it off their feet it is fascinating, like they are taking off rubber gloves!!! lol.

They are then much brighter and all beautiful again! Next time one of mine sheds i'm gonna try and get pics of it! it really is amazing to watch! but quite freaky!

once they have shed, I always give them a quick look over to see that all of the skin has come off ok!

If he is still quite young he will shed more often! keep an eye out to see if you can watch it one day!

when your leo is about to shed its skin you should see that he/she has gone very pale and you can actually see parts of the skin starting to come off i have never actually seen myne shed her skin yet.
