My two cents, I like the humid hide to be on the cool side or in the middle. If your temps are correct, your BP will only use the hot side when digesting. Ideally, you'd have a cool side hide, a middle hide, and a warm side hide. In that case, I'd make the middle hide the humid one. If you only have two, make the cool side the humid hide. If you do the latter, I would only keep it humid when your snake is in shed.

Depending on the type of enclosure and substrate humidity can be difficult to regulate. What kind of enclosure do you have? How are you heating it?

In my Boaphile tanks, which are PVC, paper substrate and large water bowl keeps humidity 50-60% easy. When I know an animal is going into shed, I mist 1-2x a day and that raises it enough for even my pickiest shedders to shed with ease.
CHe and UTH. I use reptisoil and chip. One time a week I take some stuff out, pour in some water and mix. That regulates the humidity for a week outside the hide. In the hot hide humidity is always good.
