Jungle carpet python won't shed all at once

[sniper182]

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help my jungle carpet python shed never comes off as 1piece my humidity is around 55 % is that too low if so what is the easiest way to raise it or is it not coming off all at once because the skin has not enough stuff to grip on to please help thank you in advance

If the shed is two or three big pieces then its ok. If the shed skin is like flaking off and there is some stuck to the snake after it sheds, then you need to raise the humidity. When I see my snakes are in blue I just spray them every day or two until they shed. This has always resulted in perfect sheds for all my snakes.

you could add a moss box they can climb though , i always mist more when i know they are in shed and don't handle them at all.

Mist extra (I mist once a day when my Carpet is in shed) and don't handle it. It also helps if the snake has a rock, branch, or something to rub against while shedding.

Our "normal" humidity is 60% and we have single piece sheds most of the time, however on occassion he will rip it into two or three big sections during the process.

If yours is similar (large pieces) then i wouldnt worry, if it is flaky and lots of pieces all over the viv then there is an issue :)

What the others said, what's your humidity and does it come off in a few big chunks or a bunch of little flakes?

It comes off on a few big chunks but I really wanted a full shed

Thanks everyone for your response I will try and mist around she'd time

How big is he? My biggest just doesn't give me 1 full shed no matter how perfect her husbandry is. The longer the snake, the greater the propensity for a break during the shed process.

FYI, I only mist the enclosure, not the snake. Not sure if others mist the snake itself, but just misting the enclosure and not bothering the snake works fine for me. My Carpet gives me full, 1 piece sheds.

He is 18 months old round 3 1/2 foot I will mist the enclosure as I don't want to upset him thanks again
