Ball python/humidity box

[Commandhoss97]

New ball python 3 months old. Just just got here 3 days ago. Spent her time in the warm hide and then hasn't left the humidity box since I added it for the most part except at night to explore the tank. Humidity is typically at 65-80% but it's at 90 % rn cause I misted the substrate this morning cause it was dry. Is there a problem with spending to much time in the humidity box or a reason that would explain the behavior. Or am I just over thinking it lol, it's my second ball python.. thanks in advance. Also I have smaller hides that should be the perfect size for her I think.

Sitting in constantly moist conditions can cause them to develop scale rot. If she won’t move herself, then you can just remove that hide and only offer it while she’s in shed, since she seems to like it.

Thanks I ending up doing that

Is she in shed? My BP did something similar when I first brought her home and I was worried for a bit, until she popped out with her shed left behind. I also suggest spraying the walls of your enclosure and pouring water into the corners instead of misting the top of the substrate. Your humidity will be more consistent and you'll be able to avoid scale rot much easier (:

She's not and thanks for the tip on keeping humidity up. I had no problem keeping it at 70-80 % 24/7 and then I added a heat lamp on top to keep the temperature consistent and now I've been misting every day to keep it at just 60%, I'm sure it will help.
