Humidity: 65%-75% is ideal. Temperature: These snakes like a gradient with a warm area in the high 80s and a cooler area in the mid-70s.

I usually keep mine with the hot end of the cage in the low to mid 80s and the cool end in the mid 70s. A thermal gradient is necessary to enable the snake to choose what temp it wants to be in.
You'll know if the humidity is right if it is able to shed its skin without problem. I usually use medium sized plastic dog bowls for water bowls and that is enough to keep the humidity right.
