    Being in pieces is not bad, his technique may just be a little off. A perfect shed is one that comes off completely!

    Your humidity sounds fine. Some tips that may help you is to provide a water bowl big enough for it to soak in, and when you see the eyes clouding offer, possibly try to mist the enclosure a tad, and mist it.

    Your humidity sounds fine. My girl usually sheds in a few pieces as well, even with the right humidity and such. As long as it gets all of the old skin off there's no worries

    Yea it's fine, if you had to start taking pieces off or something like that, then I would worry.

    Yeah, it's completely normal. Mine does too. I think the hides are slightly more humid than the cage, and they like being safe
