That worked fine for us, everyone had good sheds most of the time, and it got pretty dry where we were in Indiana.
Now that I have a dedicated room, I still mist (not as frequently) but also use a humidifier. Getting a decent humidifier may be one way to help even if the snake is in your bedroom or somewhere similar.
As a side note, where about are you in MN? We just moved back to the state (grew up in the Twin Cities), but now we are up north a few hours.
I'm down in the Twin Cities area. I am re-homing a BP that was listed online, and I want to make sure I have everything right for him. I don't really have a place in the house that I can make a reptile room...plus, we only plan on getting the one BP (I was lucky to get my wife to agree to the one). The struggle to get temps right is tough. I just took out the cypress mulch because the humidity sat at 99%. I have paper towel on the floor of the tub now, and the humidity is around 71%. It came up from 53%, I think because the water bowl is partially over the UTH. However, the towels over the UTH are reading 82-88 degrees, and the air temps appears to be about 71.
