Well with this first prob I would say a shed problem. Just make sure you mist him alot. You can pull it of if it does not come off after a day of mistings. And to the second after you fed him did you hold him. I have had a crested throw up after eating because I handled him to much.
Thanks,

O and how many times do you mist him a day?

a couple during the day and 4 or 5 times in the couple hours before i go to bed. I thought it could be shedding too, but he just shed 4 days ago, and there is no dead skin left i checked him for it.

Did you clean the cage w/ any chemicals that mably did not wash off all the way?
