Hold off on the bath next time. All they need from you during a shed cycle is increased humidity. Soaking before a shed can actually cause a bad shed sometimes since it strips the oils on the skin that they use for shedding.
It is okay to check on him every day or two just to make sure he is still in there and breathing! lol I get paranoid about my little ones
