"So, womas are tolerant of dry conditions, but what about during a shed? Do you recommend misting or a humid hide?"

I did say that womas are more tolerant to dry conditions and will handle dry air better then many species. I did not say that I would recommend keeping them in dry setup.

Being able to withstand certain conditions is much different from ideal conditions.

I try to keep my womas in the 40-50% relative humidity range. If you can do this without misting, then don't worry about spraying them (even during the shed cycle). If you live in an area that you have trouble keeping the humidity that high, you may want to raise the humidity in the cage (by misting, putting a humidifier in your snake room or putting the water bowl closer to the heat). Likewise, if you live in an area that averages high relative humidity (think rain forrest), you might want to consider a dehumidifier. Without knowing where you are though, I can't say if you should or should not mist.

I can tell you, that while it is not needed for a good shed, if you have a humid hide in the cage, during the shed cycle - they will typically use it.
