    High humidity shouldn't be an issue for the snake, but it could be bad for any humidity sensitive items in the closet (assuming that the snake cage is raising the humidity in the closet)

    If the closet is closed all the time and has a noticeable smell when you open it I would reconsider housing the snake there.

    It's a small enclosed space, so there is a possibility that you will raise the humidity in the closet when you mist the snakes cage. I seriously doubt that there will be any measurable difference, but it is possible.

    High humidity really isn't bad for BP's as long as there isn't condensation forming on the inner surfaces of the cage.

    Then chances are it won't be any different than out in an open room.

    The air quality issue is still possible due to stagnant air.

    It could change his mind about breeding, if you plan to do that.

    I wouldn't think it would be more stagnant than a turmite mound or rodent burrow.

    High humidity can cause respiratory infection if the air circulation is poor.
    And I know closets don't have the best air flow. I know someone who kept a rat rack in a open door closet and his entire colony got RI from poor air circulation.
    Maybe keep a fan running in the room and the closet door cracked open a bit if you're going to have high humidity.
