Question Weird shedding

My panther gecko zeus is as said, shedding weird. two weeks ago he shed his head skin. Then when I turned on the lights today he was normal looking at 8am. But when I came home at 5 for lunch he was all white besides his head, weird. . . What do you guys think?

My geckos turn white all over their bodies except for their heads everytime they shed, so maybe he's just shedding again. Is your gecko a younger animal? This might explain why he's shedding so often.

How did he look after the recent shed? Is he acting and eating normally? I am no vet, but at the zoo we have excess shedding in one or two of our older animals, and its usually due to either thyroid problems or vitamin deficits. I can ask our vet what those vitamins were tomorrow, if you think it might help.
