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

[Chris0445]

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.

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