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%
