Has he got a humid hide? If so should be fine.

no but the humidity in the tank is now at a constant 75% I check it often and once it drops to anywhere near 70 or lower i give him a spray

Constantly having it that high isnt great. You really want a wet/dry cyclegoing on. They need about 55-65% really. I tend to spray mine up to about 70-75% and let it dry right down to around 50% before respraying. It is better for the snake and much less likely to form mould and bacteria in the vivarium also.
