Hagrid Growing and Shedding

Hagrid is happily in his new larger enclosure.  

Hagrid is showing signs of growing.

Like snakes, a new layer of growth and skin pushes the older skin away.  The old scales dry out and fall away. 

At different points, the scales can come off as little pieces that remind one of dandruff. At other times, the scales can come of as fuller pieces of skin.  

One day we notices a piece of skin that had pulled away from his arm.  The piece of scale skin matched his upper arm, elbow and part of his lower arm.  

Another time, we noticed his eye was looking bulgy.  The scales had pulled away.  The old scales looked like the area around his eye.
