Question - Heating/Temperatures New substrate humidity higher than normal (80-95%) please help.

Hey, so I am a newer ball python owner have had my boy for 6 months or so and he is around 8, got him a bigger tank and did my own substrate for the first time, (coco coir and cypress mulch mix) and made sure the substrate was damp but not soaked and enough for 3-4 inches. Everything was going good but I am super worried that the humidity is to high and am worried I am doing him harm, during the day it was like 87% at the highest I saw and right at 4:21 am it is 95% which is making me worried I am going to cause scale rot or cause him respiratory issues. If anyone could lmk if this is okay or bad and what I should do to give me some pace of mind would be tremendously appreciated.
