This definitely sounds like something other than molting, especially if he's very lethargic or showing other signs of illness. I would bring him into your vet for a complete exam and even possible bloodwork to rule out issues such as parasites, infections, illnesses or even nutritional deficiencies that may be causing it. Making sure to keep him warm with easy access to a balanced diet and water may help some until you can be seen by your vet.
