I use cypress for my boa and it will dry, pretty quickly too. It usually only stays on the higher end for a day or two and it will start to dry up. Ball pythons are fine to have a few days of higher humidity, it wont hurt your snake. You will find yourself spraying the cypress in about a week or two.
Yes, good points! I agree. You can even use a smaller amount of cypress mulch as well. Good thing your enclosure is well ventilated that will make it more tolerable for the reptiles. Also the fact that you are not keeping them at high humidity extremes for a long periods of time. Imo, cypress mulch is one of the better substrates out there but only the 100% cypress mulch. Good luck.
