Red Tail Boa Update, New Humidifier

My wife and I got a Red Tail Boa last year around October ish. She came looking a little malnourished and wouldn't keep a meal down. After switching to tiny meals and extending her feedings out to almost 15 days she started keeping them down. She's now putting on weight and size quite well and her feedings are normal sized and down to once every 11 days.

We recently moved to a new house and it's been a lot harder keeping her humidity up. We had to use the old soaked paper towel technique and that kept it around 45%. She's never had any issue with her sheds, all of them coming off in one clean piece.

I just started using a humidifier to blow humidity straight into the cage, which has brought up the humidity to the 50%s. I've noticed that since then, she has started to darken up quite a bit. I don't know if it's too much for her or if her cage was just a little dry before, even though she never had any shed issues.

What are your guys' opinions on the humidity and her darkening?

I've attached a couple recent photos of her, a couple holding her and one panoramic in her cage.
