My question has to do with humidity. My room has eight aquariums right now (all for fish), though I will be taking my largest one out (probably won't change the humidity all that much, though). My room's humidity alone has 60% humidity and his enclosure I measured at 70% with only a water dish supplying the rest of the humidity. I haven't measured other areas of my house, though I would prefer to keep him in my room (my family isn't comfortable around snakes). It has been slightly overcast the past few days, but overall I live in a fairly warm and dry area. I know ball pythons can tolerate up to about 70%, but I'm worried my room may be too much for him after the summer when the rainy season starts again (our winters are rainy, not snowy). I'm not sure how high the humidity will get around then, but I expect it could be closer to 80%.

What is the highest the humidity should be for ball pythons? I've been seeing 50-70, but as I'm already there and it is going into summer I'm worried that is too high. I know some types of snakes shouldn't have too high of levels because it can cause issues, but I'm not sure where ball pythons fall in that. Also, how would I go about lowering the levels?

I know the immediate would be to not have aquariums in the same room, but I can't move them all immediately. I will be moving my largest out in the next couple weeks, and a couple of others will be moved out/disassembled as I'm combining some in a larger tank in another part of the house. Some I won't be able to move out, though, but they are my smaller ones.

This is my first (and only, so far) ball python. I bought my ball python about three and a half weeks ago from someone who didn't have time anymore and also did not handle him very much. He is very shy and rather docile, though has stuck out (no bite) twice, though I'm pretty sure it was because he wasn't handled for months and suddenly I would take him out daily for a few minutes. I now take him out every couple days and I haven't had any other issues so far.

1. How long have you had your ball python? Under a month.
2. How old (or how big) is your snake? Previous owner got it from Petsmart, so I'm unsure on age. I think about a little over a year in age. About 2' long and about 200 grams (my scale broke on me so I haven't been able to weigh him - another is in transit from Amazon now).
3. Does it eat on a regular schedule? Previous owner said he did, but so far he's only eaten two meals with me and skipped this past week (previous two times were a week apart).
4. How long since its last meal? About a week and a half.
5. What type/size prey is being offered? Previous owner fed hoppers, I fed him one that he came with but he seemed a bit thin/small to me for how long they'd had him and tried an adult mouse with him. He ate it up, then skipped the next week when I offered him the same size.
6. How often do you offer food? Every thursday so far.
7. What type and size of enclosure does it live in? Came in a 10g, I now have him in a plastic storage bin about 40" long and 18" wide and 6" tall (not sure on exact dimensions - I re-purposed one I already had). I plan to move him into a larger terrarium when I have the space to set it up, but that is still a few weeks out from happen
8. What are you using as substrate? If it has depth, how deep is it? He had some sort of bark with what he came with, but now in the bin I'm using paper towels.
9. What type of heating do you use? I have a heat lamp I keep raised away so it won't melt the plastic until I decide how to adjust his housing and what I'll use for heating.
10. Do you use a thermostat to control temperatures? Not currently, though the lamp is only over one half so it has a cool end and a warm end - warm end is about 88F and cool 78F.
11. What do you use to measure/monitor temperatures? I have a hygrometer on the end away from the water bowl.
12. What are the surface and ambient temperatures in the enclosure? 76F on cool end on the floor and 88F on the warm end on the floor.
13. What is the average humidity level? 70 right now
14. How many and what type of hides does the snake have? Three - one on the cool end, one on the warm end, and one in the middle.
15. Is water readily available at all times? Yes. Bowl cleaned as needed and replaced once a day.
16. Does the snake live alone or does it share the enclosure with anything else? Alone.
17. How often and for how long is the snake typically handled? Previous owner didn't handle very often - they weren't comfortable with snakes apparently. First couple days I took him out once daily for about 10 minutes. He struck out once so I changed to handling him every three or so days instead, still for around 10-15 minutes. I also leave the tub open on my bed while I'm in the room and let him roam for at most an hour or so once or twice a week.
18. Does the snake have any medical history (old injuries or illnesses)? Not that I know of.
19. Do you have any other reptiles? Have you brought in any new reptiles recently? No. I do have aquariums in the same room, though.
20. Is there anything specific or unique about your situation that we should be aware of? I don't think so.

Thank you!
