This type of conversation is, context. While the conversation is good, the context is not so good. For instance, I keep most of my hogs with no moist hides and they all shed in one piece. They are not kingsnakes. That means, hogs are more like Crots, in they have very thick skin, and do not shed often. Kings have very thin skin and shed very often.
The point is not that we disagree, the point is how we keep the animals. If your cage has ventilation, it will REQUIRE a moist spot. Or you can simply not allow moisture to escape and have no need for a moisture box. With kings, I think a moisture box is a good idea, no matter what kind of cage you have. With Hogs and crots, it does depend on the cage, as they are build to not require a high moisture substrate.
The key to keeping herps is to prevent dehydration, not treat it. In nature, they do not allow themselves to become dehydrated by drying air. NORMALLY
