Jungle python shed

[sniper182]

Hi everyone I was wondering if you could please help I have a two year jungle python I have had him for about 10 weeks, he has shed twice while I have had him. I haven't been able to get a full shed it is always broken in 3 sections is this ok I have checked temps and humidity on web and seem fine I spray his tank every two days and humidity stays around 45%. Is this too low around shedding. It's not a flakie shed, just in 3 sections.

I have 3 jcps. 2 shed one piece but my female tears hers every time. As long as it all comes off I wouldn't worry about it.

Exactly. It's not uncommon for it to rip into pieces as it comes off. There is a lot of tension on it as they truck around their enclosure and once it gets snagged on a branch or something, it's likely going to tear, but if it all came off, the snake is healthy.

If it comes off in large pieces it is fine, if it comes off in hundreds of small pieces THEN oyu need to up the humidity - sheds can get caught on "furniture" in the viv and rip easily so big pieces isnt an issue
