humidity in childreni enclosure?

i seem to have a bit of condensation built up inside my new childreni's plastic enclosure. it wasn't there yesterday although we had a thunderstorm last night so it might be due to humidity in the air.

i've read a few posts on here saying that the very basics of keeping pythons is to keep them warm and dry - just a bit worried about this condensation.

i think my girl is coming up for a shed though so perhaps it might help to have a bit of moisture in the air?

she's been fairly inactive the last few days as well - sitting curled up in the middle of the enclosure under some paper towel. could this mean she's working on a shed too, or is she just comfy there?

or should i just relax & not worry

pics of my girl and her enclosure (you can see the condensation on the inside - it's usually see-through)
