MY GTP ALWAYS SHEDS IN PIECES... HOW DO I ACHIEVE A PERFECT SHED
MY HUMIDITY IN TANK IS AROUND 60-75 PERCENT WITH MY FOGGER GOING OFF EVERY HOUR AND 30 MIN FOR LIKE 15 MIN
 
In my experience, hydration is just as important (if not more) as humidity in relation to shedding. Try thinking of different ways to get the GTP to ingest more water; changing water daily, soaking food in water, etc
 
I'm , but could you give out more details on your set up ??

most times, that's the main reason, the set up is wrong.
many will use a exo terra type of cage with a screen top and a heat lamp.
this can sometimes work, but will require lots of effort .

reason why, the lamp will suck up all the humidity , and even if you spray 50 times a day and get a reading of 60%, it's not humidity that you are monitoring but dampness = wet = too wet = chances of bacteria growth.

top needs to be closed off and a heat panel is best.
if that's too expensive, then seal off the top and with foil tape just leave a cut out for that lamp, you'll still lose humidity but way less.

you should spray once a day to get it up in the 85-90% and let it drop over 24h down to 50-60%

foggers are ???? bahhhh .'ve tried them but they're not great, ok for frog cages with live plants and they help keep temps lower..
I'd just stick to manual spraying every day, seal the top and when you know a shed is on the way, spray a little more..
