I had my one biak/png who had difficult sheds the first two times. Setup was identical to the others, but her shed wouldn't come off unless I manually removed it or soaked her overnight in a tub. I ended up really spraying the crap out of the cage and soaking the substrate just before shed, and the next one was fine. After that...no issues. It might be that your snake either just doesn't drink enough water and take in enough fluids prior to shed, or they just have a different shed mechanism. You may need to really soak the cage next time to see what happens. Once she gets going, it might improve. FWIW: I also changed out the excessively wet substrate after shed.
