    Over the years, I've found that some snakes are just prone to stuck sheds even with the correct humidity ... I could have a room with 180 snakes in it and it seems to be the same 5 or 6 that have problems while all the other animals set up the exact same way (open air racks, 82/92, 50-60% RTH with a full room console humidifier) have perfect sheds every time.

    I notice is a lot in my hyper and hypo mels, but I have some normals too that are just stubborn.

    I guess my point is that sometimes it's not the husbandry, it's just the animal.

    Hope this helps.
