    Should I be thankful for high humidity?

    Just moved my Ball python and red tail boa from screen top tank to plastic tubs.
    My acurite thermometer reads above 80%
    Should I find a way to vent the moisture more or is this fine?

    I would vent it a little more. Just drill a few holes in the plastic a few at a time untill your humidity sits stable where you want it.

    In the wild BP's usually hang out in very moist burrows or termite mounds, 80% humidity won't hurt your BP, just as long as any condensation doesn't cause mold growth (which I doubt you would have a problem with having cypress).
