    90 is too high for bumping up id say. 70 is good enough. 60 is better for the remainder of the time, 50 is a smidge low. It is likely his shed just got wet, was it near the water bowl? It looks kinda gross when its wet.

    well heres a funny thing to try, wet the rest of the dry shed and see if it looks the same. If it does, well then you know for sure thats all it is.

    he also could have released some urates while shedding and wet the shed.

    If you're worried about your snake, look at the snake more than the shed! :) Does his belly and the rest of his body look okay?

    Snakes usually pee and/or poop when shedding, so that is normal.
    Like Rapture said check the snake and make sure he is clean. Nothing looks to out of the ordinary 60 - 70 percent humidity is good for shedding time

    I looked at him and he looked very nice he is a normal but right now he looks like a pastel he looks alot more vibrant and theres not abnormalitys... so i guess things are good.

    My snake pooped and passed urates last time he shed. He just did it after the shed was off. Sometimes they do it before getting all of the shed off.
