there could be a few things wrong, first off, is it getting ready to slough? or did it not get all the skin off it's toes on the last slough? try to up the humidity if that's the case so it will be easy to shed.

does the animal seem weak, is it climbing at all? or does it look paralyzed in the hind limbs? if that's the case, it could have some sort of metabolic disease or vitamin/calcium deficiency. how often and how much are you giving for vitamins and calcium?

if it's been going on for more than a few days and the animal hasn't left the ground, i'd go to a vet right away. sometimes these problems could be easy to get rid of, but if it's something serious, you should try to catch it ASAP.

Good luck
