Cracked Skin?

I recently purchased a veiled chameleon at a reptile expo (august 15th), and he's doing pretty well; he's already doubled in size. :) He's already shed twice, both times it went very well. His diet consists of calcium powdered crickets, and the occasional dubia. But as he's gotten bigger, I have noticed the skin on his sides is cracked. I'm not sure if I'm just being a worry wort, but I figured it was worth asking about.

These are the "cracks" I'm inquiring about; they are on his sides, going along his markings. Sorry if it's hard to see, he's a bit camera shy. (which is why this picture isn't as recent as I would like it to be)

& This is his enclosure, it's 16x16x32, but since he's already gotten so big, I'm considering a bigger enclosure for him.

I will appreciate any advice given!
 
your basking spot is high! I would drop that by about 10 degrees. 96 is too hot for that little guy.
 
Mine has the same, I dont believe it's a problem ImageUploadedByTapatalk1347251098.010647.jpg
