Every other day after I see they're pink-bellied, I give all my snakes' cages a light misting with a spray bottle. I aim for the top of the enclosure as to not scare them as they're already stressed with the shed.

I think it depends on where you are and your normal humidity, too. Being in Minnesota and always dry inside my snake room (either the heat is cooking or the air conditioning is blasting) I supplement their humidity, especially at shed time. Sometimes a big water bowl isn't enough. Humidity is about my biggest struggle. A spray now and then, big water dishes, plastic caging and close monitoring has kept me in nice sheds and good humidity thus far.
