Your setup sounds ok. I'm not sure if bell peppers are good or not. Otherwise the diet sounds ok. Variety is good. For our staple chuck diet, Austin and I use a lot of spring mix as well as kale, collared, mustard greens, bok choy, dandelion greens, etc. We also offer a little bit of thawed veggie mix containing green beans, peas, carrots, lima beans, and corn. Check out deerfern farms' website for good info on diet. It is mostly a uromastyx site, but Doug keeps chucks as well.
As long as there is residual moisture on your veggies, the chuck should not need additional water.
I wouldn't worry about the shedding issue. Chucks don't usually shed all at once, it just comes off in patches, and can take a while to come all off. If it looks like multiple layers are building up, you will want to assist in the shedding process.

Good luck,
Nick
