    I've found this is most likely when the shed has come off too soon, leaving the skin not fully developed-this has happened in my water dragons when they jump into branches tearing some of the shed of prematurely..However I suppose it could as easily be that there was some old shed which suffocated the skin causing it to die.

    I actually noticed that on Toby, right after his shed last week... I was thinking of posting about it too! Here's a picture of what his looks like:

    P.S. For the record, his shed was otherwise perfect... came off in one beautiful piece, so I know his husbandry is okay.
