White stuff on my skinks foot?

It looks like extra shed but i'm not sure. Some of it comes off easily with extra shed others don't. What is it? It's all between his toes and on the side of foot.

umm... probably shed but no one can tell you without seeing it. Pictures would help. But most likely shed and nothing to worry about. I'd soak him in a lukewarm bath that overs his feet for 20 mins and see if that loosens it up. Don't pick at it too much, toes are pretty delicate!

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

will try when I finnish lunch.

I don't think the people who had him before took very good care of him as they hadn't even said his name in the add or were upset to leave him behind also they fed him lettuce and carrots in every meal. So I expected some problems.
