I had an animal that felt like that too one time. It was because he ate a bad rat and shed out his colors. Some of his scales went with it. The texture of the scales was different from then on out. Water didn't bead on him properly either. I kept him for a year and a half after the incident until I knew he was healthy again and that it was definitely the food that caused the problem and I adopted him out to a loving home.
