The greyish outline... hard to tell if something is wrong. Some of it does look like it's lifting up. Can you send a pic of it dry?

As long as it's not soft, hard, smells, or becomes white then it should be OK but to be honest, it looks like somethings going on. Does he bask often and have a UVB light?

He does bask and he does have a uvb light. But he doesn't bask too often, not that I know of

Under close inspection, is it peeling or lifting? Is the grey below the scutes or over it?
