i'm just saying 100% during shed is way to high u hear story's all the time of bp getting all kinds of problomes in humidity that high.

I get probably 80% perfect sheds, 10% a small/few scales left
however twice I found impartial sheds,

I keep my humidity at 60%; my snake always has complete sheds.

I have to admit I don't try for 100% humidity during a shed; I aim for 75-80% ambient plus damp sphagnum moss in one of the hides for an extra-humid hiding spot. If I see my BP soaking in his water bowl during the day, I double-check humidity & raise it a little. He usually spends most of his shed time in the damp hide, and even without 100% ambient humidity, he always has complete sheds. The day he's not in the damp hide anymore, I look and sure enough, there's the shed.

1500 (yes 1500 sheds), and not a single one left any retained skin.

Well, I can't come anywhere close to competing with that. So I will take your word for it and increase my humidity more when my BP goes into the shed cycle. I've been increasing it during that time, just not quite that much.
