Answer
Hello Ashely,

Well, it sounds like your gecko is going to shed.  :-))  
Do you have a moist humid hide for him?  If not, you need to get one quickly setup for him so he wont have a problem shedding.  Just put the cave or hide over the undertank heater, & get a sponge or some moss & keep it wet (not sopping but moist) at all times to help with his shed.
