although its been said before it looks like he is shedding although it should only take a few days it looks like loose skin
have you misted him inside of the dripfor water...usually misting or spraying the skin help the cham take it off.

I wonder...is your spray water high in minerals or calcium salts (hard well water)? Do you see whitish coatings on your leaves? A possibility. Doesn't look dehydrated at all.

does the ashy area feel any different? could it just be his coloring? I don't mean to minimize it, or you, by that question it's just that chams can have some varied color.
Is he behaving OK otherwise?
