Think about it: if your natural environmental needs say you should keep a certain level of hydration, but something is preventing you from getting that, you'll end up pretty miserable after a while, wouldn't you? Same with your snake. They live in borrows where humidity is a bit higher than out in the open. This is the environment they've adapted for, and the environment you should strive to recreate.
Super helpful! Thank you! I will be keeping a closer eye on her humidity from now on.
