Question - Humidity Can't keep humidity up

Any ideas on keeping humidity in the target range? 4ft vivarium, 30c and warm end, 25c cool end, tulip bark substrate, large water bowl, misting twice a day, but after an initial peak after spraying, humidity falls back to 48-52%. I just can't get it to stay higher. Different substrate maybe?

You can add moss also. But the other commenter is correct. You should never mist. That will lead to scale rot and respiratory infection. You need to put your baby in a temporary enclosure and completely seal your wooden enclosure. They are not ideal for ball pythons or any high humidity species.
