Heard this same story a week ago with a different kind of snake and the Thermometer was wrong. Once the person got another thermometer the next day it was 58% Humidity & he had already drilled the heck out of the tub hahahahaha. If there is no condensation then it isn't over 80% in that small of a Tub IMO. I had a 25"x16"x16" for mice and when if got to 80% the plastic fogged up bad.
If it isn't the thermometer maybe a false reading from the water dish in sick a small enclosure?
PS Edit: just read the update... Sorry didnt see this was from the other day.
