Bubba is about to shed for the first time since I've had him, and the previous owner never kept the humidity right so he was very dry when I got him. She said he's always shedded in a million pieces, so i'm pretty sure this is a big indicator in wether or not i've cured his dehydration. if there is anything other than a small boost of humidity i can do, please let me know..

Mist the viv daily, to keep the humidity around 60-70%....maybe provide him a humid hide (rubbermaid w/a damp towel or something)....or soak him for a half hour or so daily.
Thats my .02 anyway.

When my balls go into shed, I just mist 2-3 times a day and this has yielded perfect sheds thus far.

Get a nice new sponge. That works pretty good in my setup. When I need a kick of moisture, I wet it, wring it, and stick it in the corner. It lasts for quite awhile and if I need to re-wet, a couple well aimed squirts from a spray bottle and back in business I be.
It's square, around 4.5 x 6.5 ..............y'know, basic cleaning sponge. Or go to bath and body works or something and get a fancy one......whatever suits ya

Doesn't even have to be a new sponge, for that matter. They can go through the wash with the whites with bleach just fine and you know you won't be passing on any nasties to the snake.

the humidity is pretty high, and has been since I got him. 75% due to dehydration. I'm sure it'll go fine, was just wondering if there are any other methods to help them OTHER than higher humidity.. thanks folks..

Oh, I see.....
Well, the lady I purchased my bp from recommended "four paws Nature's Reptile Vita spray". She says that when they go into shed she spritzes them lightly from neck to tail once a day. It has vitamins, which isn't really neccesary, but also electrolytes to keep the skin from drying out and replenish lost moisture. I bought a bottle, seems alright. I don't use it daily, tho. More like every other day during shed. I mist him really lightly and gently rub the wetness around to evenly apply.
I may have wasted money, although she swears by the stuff and he hasn't given me any shedding trouble.
Most likely bubba will do you proud. Your setup looks and sounds ideal 8)
