Sorry I don't have much I know they can lose toes and tails to bad sheds the retained shed will cut off circulation and amputate the restricted area and if he seams dry make sure your humidity is right and it has a place to soak and clean water to drink to stay hydrated im sure someone will be along with more help

Take him to a vet and have them check it out.

A lot of the time lizards lose toes to bad husbandry when they are babies or being housed with others - the more dominant (especially when young) will nip off the toes or tails of the runts.

Is this a recent thing to happen? What is your enclosure like? Is he housed alone?
