Sounds like retained shed, let him slide through a damp towel or give him a damp hide for a few days to help him get it off.

I had this problem just recently when my brother bought home his schools corn, we put him in a luke warm bath for a couple of minutes and then let it run through a towel and managed to get it all off, including a retained tail tip.

Is it possible he's going to shed again? It seems that several have had a double shed this time...purhaps he says it's his turn now.

it may just be scuffs and scrapes from him sliding around - if it is it will sort itself after the next shed
