Only if their humidity is too low or they are due a shed and you need to bump it up. As long as they have a decent sized water bowl you shouldnt need to spray often, i literally only spray when theyre in shed as high levels of humidity can cause respiratory problems which is baaaad.

Also if you do spray make sure you dont over spray and have plenty ventilation in the viv as it may become too wet and rot.

No theyre pretty waterproof as far as i can gather. Just make sure nothing contaminates your water and you'll be fine, i.e bleach, washing up liquid, robinsons orange squash

No, they dont. If anything, living in damp conditions for prolongued periods will give them scale rot.

Just supply a water bowl that is big enough for them to get in if they feel the need.

when i started spraying my corn it was the first time she has ever been sprayed. this was a shock for her BUT did help her ALOT When sheding ( she used to take a week and a half to finish sheding after the preshed colours came through) she shed in about half the time it used to take her. but as a rule i dont always spray every week. only when i can feel her start to get too dry!!!

You shouldnt really be judging humidity on "how she feels" do you have a hygrometer? One is essential like i said only spray when shedding ideally like rat boy says long periods of damp can cause a whole multitude of issues!

I just put abig snake bowl in and they rarely get in it, although they do drink from it. I sometimes spray my boas but as far as im aware there is no need to spray corns as they mainly come from dry parts. Misting them when they are due a shed may not be a bad idea but i dont!

I never spray - all the substrate would get wet and I'd be worried about it getting mouldy. All mine have a water bowl big enough to soak in and they also have a moist hide ( a tub with moss in ) which they use fairly frequently.
