how old is he? How long not eating? If it's cold and dry by you his humidity could just be real real low. Have you used a humid hide for him or tried lightly misting him as he gets ready to shed?

For a humid hide...get some kind of tupperware box. Cut a hole in it, and put something like Spaghnum moss or vermiculite(sp?) in it. Keep what ever substrate you put inside the tupperware damp. Your leo should go in whenever he is shedding and sometimes just because he wants to.
