humidity method for ball pythons

[MrPower]

Hello all, I have another question for all you good people. I moved here to Alberta not too long ago and the environment here has me a little stumped. My method for keeping good humidity for my pythons used to be just keep a hide moist with water and it worked great for years. But here for some reason my dirt gets mould in just a couple days. So with that problem I thoright of a different solution and that is I purchased a humidifier to keep the humidity up in the room and keep the hides dry. Anybody have some knowledge with this kinda setup. I find it working fine But I'm not sure if the pythons well like all dry dirt where naturally it should be damp. I'm thinking if the humidity in the room is to spec then the dry dirt should not matter and may be better so that mould Isn't a issue. I keep my Cali King snake dirt completely dry and never a mould problem.Thanks all for reading.
