There's no doubt that some subocs do better with humidity then others, and perhaps you have on of those. Or, maybe you're keeping it indoors at fairly low temps. But I certainly would hasten to describe the issue as "overrated" based on just one snake. I've been keeping them for 10 years now, and from personal experience there's never been a problem that wasn't related to humidity.
I was talking with John Cherry not long ago. He was working with Don Soderberg on some subocs. He told me that he had to give it up because his snakes were withering away. I said "Was it because of the humidity?". And he said "It was because of the humidity." Just like that.
Point is, Do not discount the humidity issue.
Cheers!
