Tearing in shed normal?

[JustinGatCat]

Hi everyone!
Pua just finished his shed and he's looking glossy and gorgeous! One thing though, on the shed skin, the head portion is torn, and looked like Pua ripped his head skin coming out of it rather than just slipping it off like he did his first shed(the smallest one on the left) As you can see by his most recent shed on the right, all but the head is, how do I say it, full. He has no stuck shed anywhere. I did have a bit of trouble with my humidity keeping it in the 70% range, so it stayed around 50-65%. So in other words, is tearing of the shed skin normal?

Sometimes it just happens. The snake can get too rough rubbing on things or maybe it was a teeny tiny bit to dry. Its 100% normal and fine. We have one snake who sheds then I swear he rolls on it. He trashes it after its off. Ive only seen one full shed from him and it's because I caught him just finishing. We have another who leaves his shed in his bowl. And when you pull it out its so wet sometimes the weight of the water rips it. Back when we used tanks we had a girl who would use her tree branch to crawl on when she shed and it ripped her shed to bits. Don't stress

Boople twists hers off and it looks like a twizzler. I get weird sheds lol

Humidity issues should be tweaked but as long as it isn't just flaking off then some rips are normal, especially as they get larger and have more weight and strength to their rubbing and sliding out of it.

Nothing to worry about. Like mentioned above, just get that humidity right next time and you're good.
But yeah, not uncommon at all.
