Depends on the age. For adults, it can take several weeks.

Is it just the shed you are concerned about or is it something else? Is there odd behaviour happening or a change in attitude or eating habbits? Some pictures of her would be nice too
its just the shed part

Should be shedding every week or two... that's what I would think. But I've never had a baby.

Could I also see a close up picture of him?
There are a few things I do see here that could be fixed to prevent future problems. You have 2 containers on the bottom. One seems to be a water dish? The water dish can come out because they shouldn't drink still water. It can carry bacteria and be an area for them to just defecate in. The other container looks like a feeder cup? That one is fine. I would suggest trying to hang it higher in the cage though.
I also can't see the bottom floor of your cage but I think I may seem substrate? If so then I would take that out and just put down paper towel. Substrate can cause impaction problems for them if they decide to Ingest it. Whether its from trying to snag a feeder, hit a drop of water that landed on the substrate or just out of pure curiousity and wanting to eat it.
Another reason why you could be having problems with him shedding often is because of his humidity. You can get higher humidity percentage by putting a live plant in there like a pothos plant. And then just spray the cage 3-6 times a day depending on how long you spray the cage.
Look up also in the forums proper supplementing for your little guy. Maybe a more experienced member than myself will step in and give you some more helpful tips and links.

You can put screen over a water bowl.
