Our ball pythons are settling in, but I'm worried about the humidity in their tubs. Before we picked up the snakes, temps were running 78 ambient/ 91 hotspot/ 82 cool (as measured by AccuRite and verified with temp gun), with 53% humidity. After we put the animals into the tub, the humidity spiked to over 70%. In response I first moved the water dish completely off the hot spot; when that had little effect over several hours we then added additional ventilation. Now they're running the same temp-wise, but humidity's still at 64 - 67%.

I've seen no condensation inside the tubs, and I'm watching their water bowls (4.5 inch diameter, half full) and they haven't spilled them. Are we okay, or do I need to add more ventilation? I'm somewhat hesitant as I don't want to risk lowering their ambient temps (although I've jacked up our central heat for our reptiles' comfort so if I have to do more I'll survive).

Anyway, thoughts? They seem content for the most part, i.e. invisible except last night Scales was cruising a couple times. But otherwise, they're in their hides (either cool or warm -- the female is mostly in the warm, the male is mostly in the cool).
