I had seen that info about the humidity. When in doubt, I check the Australian forums and there is a map regarding climate and humidity of Australia where this species live in the wild. The info I received was low humidity, and that never failed for me. For shedding, do not increase humidity of the tank. You don't have to do anything. A humid hide made of a plastic butter bin and wet paper towels or moss works just fine.

If your snake ends up with stuck shed for some reason, it is a minor problem usually solved with a 10 min warm bath.

Thanks so much. Is it difficult to keep the humidity low? I´d imagine it being easier than keeping it high.

When you heat part of a snake's enclosure, it's going to dry it out. And your snake's enclosure is in a heated house, I'd assume, which dries out the surrounding available air too. So unless you really DO "live in a swamp", you don't have to worry about the humidity.
