um good question i hope someone else sheds :P some light on this lol
i think if its dry and gets stuck on it and breaks apart due to sticking to the snake then there is something wrong with the environment. ie not enouph humidity.
a perfect shed is obviouly one peice like infernails posted pics, thats perfect.
my snakes skin would come off like that, its nice and moist but instead of rolling over and just inverting itself like the pics shown and slithering out, it rolls up over itself and gets tight and then that makes it tear off, then she stugles to pull the rest off with skin off and tears it apart. so i dont think there is anything enviromental about my problem. but i could be wrong??

So a perfect shed is one where there is none left on the snake but potentially the shed skin could be ripped or bits torn off - that makes a lot of sense cos it can easilly snag on substrate and hides - its does seem farily fragile.

We have found that our cats like the shed skin!! We left it next to the viv to show off to people and the cats have nicked it and ripped it to shreds!!
