How often do you have to mist/spritz your enclosures?

[Superpop]

I live in Minnesota and it wildly varies how often I have to mist Snickers' tank.

It the winter it as dry as hell here even with an expensive humidifier in the house running. Snickers' tank gets misted once every night in the winter unless she goes into a shed in the middle of winter which is horrible because then we have to mist her tank down 4-5 times a day until she actually sheds.

During spring, summer, and fall her tank never has to be misted unless she is going into a shed and then 1 mist a day is sufficient for her to have a clean shed.

Winter here is a horrible biotch though.

Jack photons? that would mean there is always low humidity outside.

Yeah I answered my own questions in another thread. Photons it isn't. It has to do with how the different items heat the respective areas. Light bulb heats air, tank, stick and snake, UTH heats mostly tank and snake on top of it. That is- heat transfer from the UTH to the air is minimal.

Why wouldn’t you just use a humid hide in this situation?
