Humidity/Spraying question

So a while back i bought a zilla tank kit and it came with a humidifying spray. Should I use this it has Aloe vera, vitamin b1, vitamin b3, emollient, and water. Im just wondering more if i should use this or just water to spray during a shed cycle.

Either one. The humidifying spray is a gimmick in my opinion, but it won't do any harm to your snakes. Plain water should work just as well.

x2. I'd only add that some people, myself included, avoid spraying water directly on the snake while in shed and mist only the enclosure. water has a way of evaporating the natural oils produced that allow the snake to slough of the old skin. while going through the shed cycle, higher humidity is good, a wet snake isn't.

thanks i figured the spray was just somethin they try to get you to buy, ill use water as it doesnt smell so bad.
