Exactly! My largest female normal, a rescue, sheds in big pieces each time so far (twice) despite great spot on humidity (and sometimes higher) in her tub. I believe she's just like that... could be from the bad conditions she was kept in before, and if so I hope those skin layers all come off so we can have some good sheds and clear eyes (still dimpled slightly). But I don't care that she, and my other two adults, shed in pieces as long as it's complete and I know I've done what I can for cage decor and humidity.

And the soak really does work... but only AFTER they've started shedding. I use a damp pillowcase (or a washcloth for the smaller snakes) after the soak to give them something to slide through and get the stuck pieces off.
