    Just enough to get the humidity up around 65%-70%.

    When my snake goes into blue I bump the humidity to 72-75% until they shed. The snakes always have a perfect shed! I increase the humidity by putting sphagnum moss into each of their hides as well as a container of moss in the tub (or cage, depending on which snake...)
    I have never misted because I believe that it creates really crazy humid highs and lows. Maybe you could try the moss?
    Hope this helps some!
