shedding

I had two snakes go into shed at the same time one shed good and one shed bad. They are in a rack so the conditions are the same. My humidity stays at 55-60%. Temp is 83 ambient air temp and 90 for the hot spot. I also had another snake shed a week ago with a perfect shed.

Sometimes they just have a bad shed

This is so true!! Even if you give them the humidity they need sometimes they just shed like the skins been put through a wood chipper lol. I've just had this odd experience too with a hatchling. Gave him tons of humidity and shed is gazillion pieces. But one thing that I forgot to do that I usually do is when they get out of the blue stage and clear up I mist the snake directly with water since they will be shedding that day usually and it really helps the skin just slide off perfectly and in one big long piece :)

Try bumping up the humidity to 75 or 80 through out the shedding process. It might help.

My humidity stays up during his sheds,but while he shed everything,it's usually in 3 pieces...
