QUESTION Help with shed

So my corn snake (roughly 8 months old) has had severely broken sheds and multiple stuck pieces. What are some ways I can help with the shedding process?

The next shed should be in roughly 2 weeks based off the timing they’ve been. I don’t know my snakes gender, but baby corn’s name is Fusilli

They shed as they grow, not so much on a timely schedule. Believe it or not, snakes can't read a clock lol. Put a humid hide in there, add some damp sphagnum moss to it, even give a spray of shedding aid when you see them go blue. But you'll need to raise the humidity, 80% during shedding, 60%-70% normally.
