I keep the humidity around 65% normally and when she's in shed I spray every day a few times bringing it up to 70-80% and she still never has a good shed... Any secret tips?
I do this all the time with my ball python Eva, I don't know if it will work with your burm because I know that some snakes freak out when they get sprayed. But I do the same thing you do and mist keeping the humidity at around 70% but right when she clears up from her blue stage I mist her body and then leave her alone. She shed perfectly every time in one big long piece. And the water keeps the shed moist so it doesn't rip everything stays together, it also allows you to stretch out the shed without tearing it so easily because once it dries up it gets really fragile. But you can try this and see if it works for you hopefully some more people chime in and you can try some different methods as well. Here's a picture of her perfect shed that I stretched out.
Sometimes even if you keep the humidity perfect they will still struggle to shed, so don't feel bad about it, your definitely trying your best and asking for help
Re: Sigh... My burm refuses to have a good shed...
I usually take a hide, and put it on top of sphagnum moss basically making a sauna with 100% humidity and let them go in as they need on top of the 60ish percent humidity. haven't had any issues in years.

Re: Sigh... My burm refuses to have a good shed...
I have a retic that has never had a good shed. i have a feeling its not so much a humidity issue as much as it is just that particular snake. I think some snakes just cant shed in one piece when they get too big.
