i don't see any problems with that, if that info is correct besides that i'm not sure about the supplementing schedule, and there is no fecal description. and an idea for when you clean your cage, you might want to lose the bark and replace it with paper towels.
and please post a picture of at least your cham. that's essential

that's really odd. he looks skinny, and the darkness could be a reflection of that
But on a side note, when i bought my female veiled, there were other chams in the enclosure with her, and one or 2 of them were that color. i do not know, sorry

Just one thing, a sign of heavy stress with not so many things going on that would stress a baby or adult cham for that matter could be indicative of a parasite infestation. So, few questions...
Where did you purchase your cham? How often do you handle the little one now? Is there heavy traffic around the terrarium? Placement of the terrarium (bedroom, hallway, kitchen, closet... you get the idea)?
How new is the baby to your home and have you taken them to the vet or grabbed a fecal?
I applaud you on the fact that you are showing interest in your chams well being. Hopefully it isn't anything serious
