Hello, I have had my skink for awhile now and we have gone through some ups and downs. But as long as I have had him, when he sheds it's never been in one piece or even in patches. When he sheds it comes off in what looks like scale confetti. Is this normal???

This sounds normal to me, so long as no shed is stuck then sounds fine. Mine tends to come off in gloves then the rest is bits and scales all over the viv like yours - apart from the top of his head which seems to come off as one section. So long as no shed is stuck especially on feet and tail then sounds like they are doing fine.

Perfectly normal. As mentioned just watch for stuck shed on toes, etc
