Answer
Hi Tony,
If you mean on the outside of his mouth and nose, I would say he is getting ready to shed.
Here is a picture of one shedding:

If that's what you are seeing, then no worries.  Do be sure to have your humidity levels where they are needed, mist often and have a good sized pond that he can get into to soak.
