I have read that it could be linked to problems with vitamin supplementation possibly from a lack of calcium that makes the skin brittle and flaky. I am not too sure of that though. I think your best bet in preventing this would be to raise the moisture a little and add some cork bark if you don't already have some in order to provide a rough surface for them to climb and rub the skin off. I don't have any grandis, but if any of my phelsuma have shedding problems I just mist more and they eventually get it.
