We just get the humidity up around 70% (not hard at all this summer in Michigan LOL). We do add in a humid hide during sheds as well as a number of cage decorations that are slightly rough to rub against (the cage decor is there all the time tho).

Our other snake Baby sheds in her hide tho. Just wiggles out and leaves a shed "ball", complete but not real pretty LOL. Who cares as long as it's off.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I am thinking Punkin was in a situation before us where humidity was not great so maybe that's it. That would also explain the previous owners comments that Punkin has "never ever" shed complete or w/o soaking to get the retained shed off.

Wish I could post a pic. I'm really going to have to invest in a cam or borrow one.
