My leopard gecko has always had a super healthy appetite until the past month. His appetite started to decline and now he is shedding like crazy. He will shed then about one or two days later sheds again. He is doing this every couple of weeks. I am going to try to get a vet appt for tomorrow just wondering if anyone has ever had this happen, my experience with our local reptile vet was not a good one and I almost lost my other leo.

Thats a new one for me- sorry.
Are you sure he's actually shedding every few days? If so, he is likely not hungry b/c his belly is full of shed skin. My best guess would be that it is due to some sort of toxin exposure. The shed process itself usually takes a day or two to complete...exactly what are you seeing?
