(Reposting in the right thread this time.)
I'm going on my 3rd week now of owning a ball python, and I've noticed a huge change in his habits these past two days.

When I got him, he was constantly tucked into his hide, and I rarely saw him come out. More recently, he's been content to sleep on a branch that's in the center of the cage, straddling the warm and cool sides. Yesterday, he was awake all day and non-stop action. Bumping on the glass, pushing on the screen, falling off said branch (I repositioned it so he wouldn't roll off and hurt himself now), and he was ecstatic to get out of the his cage. He was also very reluctant to go back in when I tried to set him down.

He's only about a month old, and was fed on Friday. He's fed with pk rat pups. He's in a 10 gallon, with zoo-med forest flooring, two hides (on different sides), appropriately sized water dish, and a temperature of 85-90 degrees. I maintain his humidity with a spray bottle and a damp towel. He's also in a very low traffic part of the house.

I've read that balls are usually really shy the first week or so, then they'll spend some time looking for a way out. I kind of expected that, but now he doesn't want to go back into his hide. The only thing I could really equate any sort of stress to would be his humidity. With him being out and about, I can't spray the tank without scaring the bejesus outta him, so I've tried not to. Could a damp towel maintain his humidity levels alone, or is lack of humidity completely irrelevant in this situation?

A shot of the lazy king himself.
