My veild cham is shedding again only 2 weeks after his last shed. Is this normal?

I think its one of those rare occasions, and shouldn't be a problem, unless it happenes a couple of times again. My chameleon recently did shed twice in a month too, but never again. so don't worry......yet...

how old is he? If he is young he is growing and will shed more frequently and can certainly be twice in 2 weeks. if he is older it may be that he did not do a complete shed. Sometimes Luna only sheds on part of her body and a week later does the rest! LOL!

Veileds grow like weeds and if you're chameleon is a juvenile I don't think you have anything to worry about.
