Just spray with a spray bottle with water in, Foggers are expensive and will make it too humid, could even cause an Respiratory Infection or scale rot if left in for prolonged periods.

I wouldn't recommend a fogger for a kingsnake, a rainbow boa maybe, Kings will only suffer if it's too humid.

Have you tried a damp moss hide? how long has the shed been overdue?

I would just stick to lightly misting the viv with a spray bottle.

like i suggested on the corn site,you could try bathing or in a damp pillow case for a while then run him through a damp towel while gentle holding him.

you could try a very gentle rub with a damp towle after a bath,go in the head to tail direction but dont force it, gently gently.
