    Make him a humid hide! He'll know when he needs higher humidity and will go in it. I believe there are some great threads on here with instructions.

    Sphagnum moss works really well too to up the humidity. Can be found at almost any petstore or reptile store...and online.

    You could also move your ball to a tub. My humidity stays at 65 all day long

    No worries! I vote for a tub too. Anyone with humidity issues should just use a tub. Your snake will be happier, less stressed, and your husbandry will be that much easier to take care of. Good luck!
