never heard of it.
Sounds dangerous to me.
Most of us find it useful to provide a "Moist Hide" or simply mist the cage with a Flower Mister, but only if the snake needs it.
Unless your snake has a history of "Bad Sheds" there's really no reason to be concerned about it.

I've used a nebulizer to treat a respiratory infection, but otherwise it's entirely unnecessary.
Yeah I did that once many years ago . Nebulised F10 and successfully treated a RI in a Royal python and didn't need a vet ...
Well so many snakes soak themselves for days to aid their shedding so I'm not again putting a snake in a secure plastic tub of snake temp water for 20 minutes or so - just keep an eye on things . They look at each corner for a minute then they immediately settle down.
The important part is after the soak - you have a wet , rough textured towel ready and let it slide through the towel in your hands , constantly feeding it back under the towel . This method is great for removing stubborn skin from a bad shed and also removing retained eye caps BUT it's not normally necessary if you're humidity levels are good.
Another tip is to wait until their eyes clear and they get their colour back THEN spray the viv twice a day until the snake sheds ....
