Just got a cbb baby ball from RaysReptilia. He is absolutely great; forget that talk about balls not being good feeders!! I do understand that balls do need/like higher humidity so I sprayed with lukewarm tap water. He did not like that at all; opened his mouth at me. He is a perfect little gentleman otherwise. Should I put a fogger in with him?

Nope...don't worry about a fogger. You only really need to worry about humidity during a shed. At that point, use your spray bottle or simply dampen the substrate a bit. If it bothers you that he reacts poorly to the spray bottle, remove him, spray the enclosure then return him.

His average daily humidity should be around 60-65% (more or less they can be forgiving) during shed you can bump it up to at least 70-75% by spraying the substrate - you don't really want to wet the snake down (as you can tell they don't like it) and if you get them too wet they will develop blisters.

You really only need to "up" your humidity when the snake is in shed. I do this by spraying the tank down with warm water and placing plexiglss sheets over the screen lids. Foggers are really not necessary. Too much humidity, when the snake is not in shed, can lead to soggy substrate and belly rot.
