Strange?
I keep my honduran milk at regular/room/ambient humidity. When he is getting blue I bump it up a bit. However, he does have a large water bowl.
The water bowl seems to be the point of focus in these kind of odd events. The other day I found my guy's water dish filled up with aspen. I thought, perhaps it's intuitive humidity regulating on his part. I simply cleaned the bowl and replaced it with fresh water. The next day I find that he has done this again, only this time he is kind of hiding in the substrate-packed bowl. This time I cleaned the bowl, replaced it with fresh water, but did not mist. After that I was at a friend's for the night. As I came back today, I see he left the substrate in place, but is now trying to hide under the water bowl.
Now, he has very nice hides, ideal temperature gradients, an ideal hotspot, and humidity is usually around 55 or 60.
Is my snake simply doing some redecorating, or should I try to bump up the humidity, or something else?

I don't have an answer for this cute behavior your Snakes Attempts to get his point across.

Re: Strange?
I would play with it, increase the humidity for a few days and watch for behavioral changes. many snakes seek higher humidity before shed.

My king likes to move his water dish just enough so he can get between the glass wall and the tank. he stopped doing that since i cleaned his tank out and added more substrate and added a new awesome skull hide that he loves to climb in.

You bring up an interesting point.
I have seen that the Corns and Kings have burrowed under the water dishes at Petsmart.
I just thought that they were hiding.
Hmmm...

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
