Problem

His face is becoming more and more white. I don't know why and need to know if it's a problem. It doesn't appear to be dead skin. I got up real close and touched his face and examined it but it looks as though its his actual pigment that is turning white. It is more prominent at certain times.

It is hard to tell from the picture but around his mouth is white and between his eyes as well. The spots on his upper casque IS dead skin from a previous shed cycle. Also his spikes on his back and chin are turning white.
