So about a month ago i got my first ball and so far its been fine. I have her in a decent size tank, could have a bit more in it than a tree and her two hides but with my schedule and movie theater employee salary its the best I can do. I've always had a bit of a problem with humidity in the tank so any help with that would be appreciated. Just recently however I asked a friend to grab food for her and they got a live fuzzy(recommended feeding schedule from where i got her was one fuzzy weekly) instead of a frozen one, she ate it just fine but after digesting she has become defensive and doesn't leave her hide during the day like she used too. I try to handle her as often as I can but when I try she panics and either flees back to her hide or looks like shes gonna strike at me. I'm noticing that her skin is darker than it was when I got her and a friend of mine who has two snakes(neither balls) believes its time for her shed.

I guess what I really need is advice on how to keep the humidity stable in the cage and any explanation as to why she's acting the way she is.

Any help greatly appreciated.
