Veiled Chameleon shedding early

I have an adolescent male veiled chameleon that’s around seven months old. He had a full body shed two weeks ago, and begun a new full body shed today, two weeks ahead of schedule.
I’ve only had him for a month, so I’ve only witnessed one shed. Should I be concerned, or is this normal?

Note: he was recently moved into a new enclosure, a 24x24x48 mesh cage. He was previously in an 18x18x24 glass cage.

I wouldn’t be worried about it, my little guy is 100% healthy but sheds irregularly, as long as there are no other signs of any health issue, I’d say your cham is just growing

Thank you! I didn’t figure it was an issue but I wanted to be sure.
 
They shed when they need to. There is not proper or healthy schedule as long as the chams nutritional needs are being met. Shedding at that young age just means he is growing which is good!
