hello abit of advice pls i am looking after my friends green tree python and he uses a fogger. by using this its humidity in the viv is perfect keeping it at the right humidity do u think my retic would benifit from this as she dont shed great and it would make a more natural habitat for her shes in a 4ft 2x2ft viv and the humidity is low alot of the time to around 20-30% any suggestion pls

While a fogger COULD help, my best advice to fix the underlying problem would be to reduce ventilation in the vivarium, add a substrate that holds moisture better, like cocohusk or something, retics need MUCH higher humidity then that.
Once you reduce ventilation and add the substrate, you should only need to mist them once or twice a week to maintain the humidity you want.

I find reptibark helps with humidity a lot. I mist it every other day and it holds the humidity around 60-65%
