Sounds very much like a bacterial infection to me, but without seeing a pic it's hard to say. All surfaces in a tank are going to be very hard to keep clean and allow to dry between misting, and perches will collect molds, fungus and bacteria. If he has any tiny breaks in the skin on his feet he could very easily pick them up. Foot infections in chams can be quite serious, so you should look up the nearest herp vet from the list mentioned below and get him in. In the mean time, get him a screen cage and throw away/remove all his climbing branches and scrub them down with a 1 part bleach to 10 part water mix, and dry them completely. You can also soak his feet in an antiseptic rinse like Betadyne or Nolvasan to kill surface bacteria without hurting him. Put the rinse in a sink or bucket and set him in it for a while.
