Feeling Dry or moist in humans(and horses) is not the same, You sweat(so do horses) When its humid, the air cannot take up much sweat, so you feel, icky or less cool. hahahahahahahaha

In dry air, the air absorbs water off your skin quickly, and that cools you.

Its like when its 119F, I was in that a few weeks ago. Folks say, its a dry heat and feels like 111F, hahahahahahahaha its still how as heck.

Its not about the ground, its what they live in, wild or captivity. And by the way, 7 years, hmmmmmmmmm been at this breeding snakes stuff for 49 years, remember, that is captive breeding for that long.

The point is, your arguing based on theory and heresay, NOT THAT ITS WRONG, its not your experience. That will come.

Once you become successful, then I recommend testing this, so you will understand based on your own work. I have a million times with a million species.

I do take a lot from the field, and one key lesson is, Dry and humid. The burrows they seek are Dry, but percolate humidity from a large base. If you flipped rocks or AC to find snakes, including hognose, as soon as it becomes dry under those objects, the snakes do not use them. If its humid, and sealed, they use them. A simple lesson.

In the east when its humid, AC can be open to the air, its humid outside, but here in the desert, once the seal is broken, the Cover becomes useless and in the ground they go.

Again, your judging humidity based on animals that sweat, humans and horses. Reptiles do not sweat, so its nothing to them. Best wishes
