What do you think?

which would be easier to raise in arizona? Burmese or ball pythons. I heard that burmese pythons need extremely high humidity while balls dont need as high. Is this true? As you know, arizona has not humid at all. Usually like 0 - 20%(on a good day) Maintaining humidity is a challenge in my house. When trying to maintain high levels, the cages are just dripping with sweat.
I have numerous of both and want to start breeding but wont to specialize in just one, balls or burmese.

thanks for any help.

Well,.. both species should have a much higher humidity than what the Arizona climate offers. But why don't you devote an entire room or large closet to your project. Run a humidifier and create a base-humidity environment and keep your cages in there. Then you won't experience any cage sweating.

Just a thought.
