They would put Tropical Mist humidifying spray in his take and us Shed- Ease reptile bath every time they fed him. I worry that using chemicals on the snake like that isn't to great? The humidity level right now is 70-80 and temp on one side is 80-90.

No need for those chemicals at all and no need to soak. If his humidity is 70~80 with good ventilation, that's more than high enough for him to shed very well without assistance.

I'd follow the temperatures on this caresheet to a T and give him many places to hide completely. A good hide means the snake is not visible at all, until he decides to come out. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ius)-Caresheet
