80% humidity for BP, vet visit story?

[Snake Judy]

What are the range of temperatures/humidity levels ball pythons experience in the wild? Warmer or cooler/wetter or dryer? That could be interesting research but I'm a huge nerd too lol!

Termite mounds are popular hideouts of wild ball pythons, and they have to maintain a relative humidity upwards of 80% in order for the termites to survive. Maybe that's the research the vet is working from? A high humidity enclosure would have to be managed pretty carefully to avoid mold and anaerobic bacteria, though, which I think is the reason it's not standard.
