Had your substrate been something other than those chips, I'd suggest just spraying down the tank once you notice the shed process starting to begin.

I have hides in my leo setup, and rarely use "humid" hides unless I have hatchlings, and for some reason I think the humidty/warmth of the humid hides comfort them mentally.

If u had slate or a substrate that wouldn't retain the water as much as the chips a good spray down would be great. Soaking works fine and all, but I just can't imagine a leo chillin out in a puddle somewhere.lol.

Anyway, another thing I notice is that my leos (3 females by the way) are kinda social to each other. I've seen them assist in shedding for the others, and also use each other's tails for pillows.

Maybe a cagemate would be appropriate if the tank size permits it.
