Question about my BP Temp/Humid.

Hey guys I just got my first ball python and first snake a couple weeks ago and no one told me to watch the temperature and humidity in the tank.. But I found out online and went and bought thermometer for temperature and humidity. Right now it's at 77 degrees F and 73% humidity. Is this fine for my BP? Whenever I pick him up he isn't cold nor is he too hot. He is shedding right now though which the humidity worries me cause I'm not sure if what I have is fine. I misted once today to see if it would bring it up so I'll be checking it again in the morning to see if it has helped. Any tips or suggestions for new snake owner are appreciated!

Thanks guys! :)

Correct temps for a ball are a hotspot of 88-90 and cool side of 78-80.
You can make a hotspot with an under the heater and thermostat, a heat bulb or ceramic heat emitter.
Has it eaten since you got it?
Humidity is fine at 70 during a shed. There's no need to make it higher

UTH = Under Tank Heater

Don't want the op confused.
