Actually, with both my western hogs and my ball pythons, I have not noticed a difference in feeding response with differing humidity levels.
For whatever reason, a few of the tubs on my home-built rack tend to get really, really humid. They appear to be random in their location. Both snakes in the humid tubs, and snakes in the dryer tubs feed with a huge appetite during warmer temps and a smaller appetite during cooler temps. They do not feed in different variances from each other, and I have both males and females in humid and dry tubs.
So you can rule out humidity, at least with hogs, and maybe BPs too. Thought I have only two BPs, and that number is too few to represent the species. ----- 4.3.1 Western Hognose
1.1 Ball Pythons
1.0 Everglades Rat Snake
