He needs to go to a vet ASAP. Is he wild caught? Looks like it is parasites that will need to be treated.

I agree w/ moviemania... A vet should be seen asap. If she is wild caught, Id bet on subcutaneous worms.

It is still not impossible for her to get parasites... vet, vet, and vet
How much Calcuim with d3 have you been giving her? I have noticed this befor when a guy I knew said that jackson can handel d3 better then panthers. All his jackson chams ended looking just like yours. but I would still go to a vet.

I can't really make out much from your pictures just to burry. It doesn't really look like parasites to me but too hard to see.
