weird color on tail?

I wanna update you guys in cosmo first!! i took him to the vet for the bump on his eye, they removed it and told me it didn’t look like anything to worry about unless it comes back, in which case we kept the bump for testing. Anyways! I’ve noticed he hasn’t been shedding much, which I know is normal for an adult, but his tail has been looking like it’s about to shed but won’t almost. it looks like there’s a layer of dry skin on it, or like the pigment is lower than the rest of his skin? He has some dry looking spots on his head with small bits of shed, although i make sure i keep his humidity up since i saw the bits on his head. i’ll attach pictures, if anyone could tell me what they think it is that would be great!!


some info:
15 month old ambilobe panther
i’ve had him for 11

he eats crickets and superworms mostly, usually every other day, however lately he hasn’t been interested. maybe every 2-3 days, and not much, 2-5 works/crickets. before that he usually ate 5-6 every other day or two.

Well looks like hes going to shed, hes sheds in sections now. Odds are its going to take a week before that section starts peeling. He isnt going to poof any more.

yeah that’s what i’m thinking, i just thought it was odd because it’s been there for maybe a few days to a week already?

Looks kinda grey like it gonna peel
Then it gets some color back but still looks odd
Then it peels

This takes a week or 2 depending on age, and tails take longer vs body
