Exclamation Problem!

Okay, here's the deal. I just got this chameleon recently (the last show) and he was shedding when I got him. He was a crappy shedder, I don't know if it was due to stress or what, but the skin was sticking to him because of these funny little "knobs" that trace says are an accumulation of skin cells. They grow in little wart-like buttons on top of his skin, and they make pieces of shed stick to him. Also, his tail didn't shed until a few days ago.
Today I noticed something strange on his tail... it looks like old, brown shed... I hadn't seen it before because he typically doesn't climb the mesh, and he doesn't like to be held so I never take him out and examin him like I do my female. I know you can't see crap in these pictures, he wouldn't stand still. At one point he even opened his mouth at me :|. Anyway, what exactly is the problem? That really doesn't look normal... I hope I can do something about it!!!
Oh, he's fine otherwise, eating and drinking and crapping and such.
