Looks like he went through a growth spurt, but I don't think he has retained scutes. As long as he has a proper basking area with UVB, and you feed him some foods with some vitamin E (like blueberries, sweet potato, apple peel), I don't think he'll have a problem shedding those baby scutes

Well, to me, I don't think anything's wrong. He's just growing!
