well the pieces eventially came off once I read about soaking etc, it mainly stayed around his neck, he hated me touching around there,
about 5-6 weeks ago he was bit once or twice by a gerbal (like I previously mentioned I was uneducated) how ever the wound never even really looked like one, it just looked like a couple flaked scales, I pointed that out to my vet the other day and he said it would come off with the shed, which it did and he's more beautifull than ever now, I just want to be sure there wasn't/isn't a non-visable infection or something???!!

fyi----his substrate is an over sized black tee shirt, changed weekly.
