Double shedding?

Hello everyone.

A new arrival (leopard gecko) was shedding when it got here three days ago. I believe they weren't giving her proper humidity as they said she was shedding for over a week. I gave her a bath to help with dehydration besides the usual wet hide as she had some shed stuck in her fingers and I was afraid of constricting circulation. She shed those last bits and seemed fine. Now today, she started shedding again... the full body. Is this normal or there may be a problem? It's like she is shedding 2 times in a row. Could it be from poor humidity at the store where she came from?

I appreciate your help and experience.

If she had any shed stuck to her, on her vent area, toes, etc they will sometimes attempt to shed again to rid their bodies of the stuck shed

Is it ok to give daily warm baths for 30 minutes until she fully sheds? I know it causes some additional stress but seems a priority to try and stabilize her sheds right?
