What is your cage setup like? Temps, substrate, and what type of cage are you using (aqaurium or custom made), how big is it?

150 gallon aquarium (not custom)

Mulch...i think it's called cypress mulch but not 100% sure...

temperature is now about 70 degrees everywhere because he's in hibernation and I haven't had the light on at all.

How do you know that he is in the middle of a shed ( since he is hibernating ) ? Did you dig him up and saw it ? If you are just misting the top of the mulch I don't think he gets any of the water on his skin. Even if you spray the humidity will not be very high since the lights are off. When my Tegus are hibernating I don't spay the enclosures. But I give them a some luke warm/ warm baths when they come out.
