No never soak before a shed it almost always makes things worse.
Accurites have a range of 10% up or down.
Relative humidity is exactly that relative. It is related to temps 60% at 84 degrees is over kill and 60% at 75 is not near enough.
If you have cooler ambient temps you need 70%+ (mid seventies) and that is if the hygrometer is halfway accurate. Ball pythons need 15-16 gm/m3 of water in the air to shed correctly. The RH number relates only to how close the air is to saturation. Warm air hold more water than cool hence the lower rh. But 15-16 gm/m3 is the same.
