I then started misting every other day but it didnt help. That is why I covered the top.
I do not have a hygrometer yet, but as I said it rarely falls below 50% humidity here. With a 135 gallon aquarium in my house its pretty stable at 60%.
As for knowing why he is hiding. He was brought out of brumation not long before I bought him. So I believe he was just in a mating cycle. He started eating 4 weeks ago.
I got him on 3/16/10. I covered the screen about a week ago. Wednesday is feeding day so he hasn't had a chance to feed with the higher humidity.
The hot side is at 87*F and the cool side is at 73-74*F. I use a UTH with a VE-200 thermostat for heat.

You have a 135 gal for a Cali King snake?? How big is he.. I don't even think an over grown adult would need a 135 gal (depending on the dimensions)
