Humidity is not necessary with coastal carpet pythons. If the glass is fogging up with condensation I would be trying to dry it out. This can be done by adding more ventilation holes and if possible, moving the water bowl further to the cool end where it can't be heated up.
The only time you may need to increase humidity is around shedding time. If he's shed comes off in one clean piece then don't change anything. If his shed comes off all in little bits and pieces then when he comes round to shed again, increase his humidity just for the shed period. You can do this by placing a bowl of water near the warm end, or spraying him and the warm end every couple days.
