>>Do you mean when they're in shed? Yeah, then he can put in an extra water bowl or mist the tub or provide a humid hide. My tubs hold in A LOT of humidity even though it's winter here, so that's why i recommended soldering plenty of holes. The humidity in my room is around 20%, but yet it stays 60% in my tub. It was around 80% before i added more holes.

Nope...Provide it all the time....A box with damp sphagnum moss does the trick.....you will see a kingsnake spend ALOT of time in a moist hide.....When they do that it tells me they are seeking humidity/moisture.....

And there's nothing wrong with all the holes you suggest.

If you provide a kingsnake with dry, wet, cold, damp, hot, dark, light and combinations of each then you will see a snake that is thriving in captivity......

Just as you provide a thermal gradient there should be different humidity options as well.....You say your tub has 60% humidity now that you burned all the holes......I say you should have a spot with higher humidity than that available at all times and a dry spot available at all times....along with the other options I mentioned.......
