My uromastyx has some problems. He shed about a month ago, but now he has 2 patches of skin still on his body. They are hard and stuck on his body. His tail is the biggest problem though. The skin is grayish-white like its shedding but isn't coming off. It looks like its stuck on there. In the places where it has peeled some of his spikes are no longer there. I have tried finding pictures of tail rot to see if it looks like that but can't seem to find any. He is housed in a 20 gallon aqaurium, too small I'm am getting a larger as soon as i can. His weight is steady and he poops 1-2 times a week. His poop is about 1-1.5 inches long and green with the white part coming out sometimes. So he seems to be eating just fine. His diet consists of vegetables, fruit, iguana and bird pellets, finch seeds and the occasional cricket(doesn't usually show much interest in them though). He is housed on play sand. I have tried to give him a bath a couple times to see if this would help get the dried skin off, but isn't helping at all. I am going to take him to the vet next week but was wondering if anyone knows what this could be. The humidity in his cage is low maybe 10-20% so I dont see how it could be tail rot.

I'm not sure about the tail, but to help with the skin on the back you can try rubbing a little mineral oil into the spots - this will sometimes help tough skin come off.
