We use the humid hide for Baby and if needed move her water dish from it's normal position on the cool side of her bin over nearer the warm side. For a humid hide I just flipped over a dark plastic large margine tub with the lid on it, cut a hole in it (make sure the plastic isn't sharp) and put in a nice layer of damp paper towels and then change them daily as they dry out fast. We take out her regular warm side hide and put in the humid hide in it's place. She's a very accepting snake tho, others might need to have both the humid and the regular warm side hide they are used to.

Baby always sheds in her hide and leaves it in a ball even though she has things she could rub against outside her hide. Guess that's just how she likes to do it. She does stay in the hide a lot more when she starts to shed, tho she does eat during shed (many don't but she's a piggy!). She looks faded and blue eyed and her belly goes very pink, then everything sorta clears up and she looks pretty normal, then usually the next day or so we find the ball of shed and a lovely bright snake.

I actually saw her shedding and it's sort of like she wiggles and flexes (looks like a woman trying to get out of a overly tight pair of blue jeans LOL).
