One newbie tip that helps me is I take a damp washcloth and drape it over ou bp's perch under the lamp. It is close enough that it will all evaporate in a day and I can simply resoak it. I find that it helps keep my humidity up around 70% without misting. Our bp is in a glass tank, 100 gallon and the last two sheds (out of three that we have owned her) have been nice one piece perfect sheds. If things go poorly check out the "bad shed no problem" sticky thread. It helped us out with our first bad shed.
