My gecko continually sheds

Question
why would my leopard gecko continually shed?  Is he sick?

Answer
He may be... Leopards usually shed all at one time.  Now that might take a week or so, but once the skin starts to come off it should be gone within a day.  Ecdysis or shedding is under hormonal control and is a response to growth so if he is really ALWAYS shedding something is wrong.
