How to get humidity up in 4ft wooden viv

[Booper]

Hi all!
I've got the humidity in Wanda's 4ft vivexotic viv to sit at 50-55%, with regular spritzing, but now I'm wondering how I'm going to get the humidity up higher for when she goes into her shed cycle. We've got her on Aspen, with a ceramic heater. I'm guessing moss, but how would I know that a moss hide is humid enough? Should I replace both of her hides with humid hides to make sure she is getting the humidity she needs at all times? Or is there such thing as a humidifyer but for snakes? Or like a pocket-sized one so to speak that would be small enough to fit in the viv?
Thank you all for your time!

You can go the humid hide route, but I'd recommend changing your substrate to coco husk (I use Reptichip, but there are other brands). The aspen tends to be dry and can mold with too much spritzing.

I can only seem to find coco husk in 7liter blocks, is that the stuff and how much would I need to cover two 4ft vivs?

Go to your local Lowe's/home depot/Walmart etc. And get a bag of no float Cypress mulch. They're like $3 and some change

As above posts plus maybe try orchid bark , which looks great , make your snake look brighter / more colourful and it holds moisture really well .

You can then spray daily and at the time if shedding , as soon as the eyes clear up the spraying to a few times a day or whenever you're passing and they will normally shed perfectly two to seven days later .

Sadly one of downsides of ceramics is the way they dry the Viv and substrate out .

Just realized your in England so not sure what brands you have. if the 7L brick is the same as what they sell here, I've used one brick in two 4ft x 2ft vivs. I change it out about every 3 months. Zincubus can maybe guide you better.
