Trouble Shed

My corn is 4 years old. I’ve had him for 6 months and he’s had about 5 great sheds no problem. This time around he had some troubles. He got his head off but I had to get a warm towel to help him get the rest off. He still has a couple little pieces around the head that haven’t come off yet. I’m a little concerned and want to make some tweaks to my husbandry to make sure his shed is good next time. So I was thinking of getting a humidifier that attaches to the tank? Is this a good idea? And if so, how often should I have it going. I don’t want it to get too humid in there. So I was thinking of just turning it on when I see he’s starting to hide during shed time. Another thing I read was to increase feedings a bit to ensure they have enough nutrients. I was thinking of instead of feeding him every 12 days, that I’d move him back down to every 10 days. I started feeding him larger asf than the feeder mice he used to eat so that’s why I went up to 12 days, but maybe that’s the problem.

Any advice would be appreciated.
