Shedding questions

I am just curious about beardie shedding. Should you help them ? How long should you wait before you help them? Should you give them more baths to help with the shedding? I am currently babysitting my friend's beardie and he has some shed on his leg that doesn't look like it wants to come off. I gave him a good bath and let him soak for a few minutes. I know she told me like last week he had shed but I am wandered if I should do anything about the skin on his leg. Which leads me to another question .... how long does it take for them to completely shed?
Thanks !

It took over a week for my beardy to shed.

You don't want to force any of the skin off, but you may gently rub it off with a damp rag after the dragon has soaked.

I tried to give Jazeira (my beardy) a bath about every day during her shedding because she had become grumpy during it. I think the hanging skin had really started to aggravate her.

I also used Shed Ease in some of her baths, which seemed to help.

But if it's not much and just on his leg, it probably won't be bad to leave it there either.
