I usually only use a humid hide during sheds as the moist warm space tends to grow things. The only other comment is the hole I again erring on the side of caution would cut the opening out to the side so it is a U not an O. The U shape cannot trap a snake they are strong enough and it makes a weak enough seal to pop off the top if it was to become tight. The O shape as a potential to trap the snake. I never use objects that have closed circles with my snakes for this reason they all need open U shapes openings so there is always a way out.
