I noticed that too when we removed the skin from his cage. At the time he was curled up in his hide and I thought "oh my goodness, from the looks of his skin, he is going to be huge!"
I must admit, when he did come out of his hide I was happy to see that he hadn't grown as much as I thought he did.
His skin stayed intact and my son has already put it in his scrapbook (which is really a photo album I gave him. It has the plastic protector sheets on each page). I hope it will be okay in that.
