    Nope- don't mist now because it might make her shed worse! Having the humidity to 70% isn't really needed. I thought it was until one of my snakes went through blue without me realizing it and then shed... perfectly. 55% humidity, maybe up to 60%, is totally fine for a perfect shed. So, you're all good!

    Same thing happened to me, starmom... I went out of town for a few days and when I came back Milton had shed perfectly well without having any adjustments made to his humidity- it stays around 55% as well.

    Funny how much I worried about it before, running around with wet towels and the like. Since then I haven't done a thing and he has perfect sheds.
