I don't spray at all (I'm in rainy Wakefield lol.) And I don't use humidity gauges either - I would if I had a GTP or any other snake that required precise humidity.
If a snake has been blue and cleared, I give a damp hide and put the water bowl in the hot end (they are all in vivs.) Shahi, the male, has this arrangement permanently as his first sheds were scruffy. I provided Saada, the 09 female with the same arrangement when clear, and she shed nicely; Surahi, my other girl, who's an 06, hasn't shed since her arrival in Nov.
This is what works for me - I'm not saying it's writ in stone. Every snake is different and other people, who are often more experienced, have other methods, which they find work for them. |

| I may go down the sphagnum moss route , she actually looks as though she has a tiny bit of dry skin /scales on the top of her head so hopefully it's a tiny bit of left over shed which will drop off next shed ?? |

Yeah, Shahi, who I got as a hatchling, had a couple of tiny crozzly bits on his back which bothered me until BE and Robert assured me that the problem would resolve itself after a few sheds, and it did.
It's only if the skin was round her tailtip or on an eyecap (which your girl's obviously isn't) that you'd need to try some intervention with bathing, shed ease etc. |
