To mist, or not to mist? That is the question!

[ballpython5000]

Ok in the past i have not exactly done a lot of misting. but with my newest python i decided to start back up with misting, so its kept at least 60% all day long.
i noticed when i misted in the past the pythons seemed smoother and their skin was alot silkier. their eyes were always clear and perfect. and the sheds always went totally unflawed. always in a single piece.
but then when i stopped misting i noticed their scaled were drier and felt flaky sometimes. their eyes were always a bit cludy and often somewhat dented and wrinkled. and the sheds were awful, many different pieces.
has anyone else noticed this? or do you get along fine without misting? im just wondering if maybe this is all in my head or if a twice daily misting is beneficial to ball pythons.
if you dont mist then how do you guys provide moderate humidity? whats your thought on misting a ball pythons can at least twice daily? whats your experience say?
thanks in advance!!!
