I can never get the humidity to stay above 50, so when I asked some friends what they did, they recommended bathing. While for Loki it may be stressful, and perhaps for the new snake too since I'm not sure how to read her yet, My normal ball python does seem to enjoy them and has been having perfect sheds each time she gets a bath.
