One of my leos had just just shed last week and last night I noticed that he looked like he was going into shed again.
Yesterday morning he looked normal and when I got home last night he had gotten darker and this morning i noticed that he was looking white. Is that something that happens. I've never heard of a gecko shedding twice in two weeks.

is it a young or particularly thin leo? They need to shed as their body expands..so if it's been growing, there's your answer.

It's not abnormal and shedding a lot isn't a sign of any diseases that i know of

I've had a gecko shed one week and then again the following week. Maybe your gecko is just going through a growth spurt? That's all I can think of and if nothing seems wrong I wouldn't worry too much about it

Your leo's housing must be extra humid, or it's a really young leo or both! You don't think it's too humid do you? Are you spraying it down alot? Or if it's a baby gecko this can be perfectly normal too.

my leo is doing this too...but she has been sick for about a month... not sure if they two are connected or not. She is shedding about every 10 days or so.

He was hatched in December and he's not small I'd say he's a good size for his age. The cage as a whole isn't too humid but he does spend most of the time in his humid hide, in fact he only comes out when it gets to dry or to eat. Here is a picture of him after his last shed that was last week. He is actually in his humid hide for this pic.
