Mold is toxic to chams. While he might not go down and chomp on it himself, if any crix get to it, and he eats the crix, there could be a problem. It is from the soil being too moist. Also, I find that different types of soil mold faster than others.
I would repot the plant, or at least take away the stones and scrape off all of the mold (a few inches should do the trick). Let the dirt air out for a bit, and don't water it for a week or two. Then, try using moss on top instead of stones. It should give a bit more air circulation. If it is plain dirt, you can even leave it open. If you then have a problem with you cham eating it you can add the moss. Another thing you can do is take some kind of plastic netting (from a dollar store butterfly net, or the stuff that holds chocolate eggs, etc) and glue it to the top of the pot in such a way that it keeps your cham out of the dirt.
That should keep any mold at bay!
