Does moisture help shed?

999 times out of 1000, there is no reason at all to help a dragon shed. Spraying your dragon in the face with water will most likely upset it more than just letting it do what it's designed to do, shed it's skin at it's own pace it's own way.
I'm not convinced that misting/soaking even helps any measurable amount. Dragon skin is a lot different than that of a snake or a gecko for example. Their skin doesn't absorb water, I don't see how getting it wet would help.

I'm with Claudius on this one. I don't buy into soaking either. If you provide different textures in the enclosure( wood, rock, hemp rope), you're beardie will scratch as necessary. The humidity by me is usually pretty high so my gradient is 20 percent in basking area and up to 50 at the coolest spot in the enclosure, so misting and soaks aren't needed in my opinion and shedding has never been an issue
