Humidity required for Oustalet

Hi everyone!
Me and my boyfriend got a beautiful female Oustalet 3 weeks ago! Since a lot of people have been comparing oustalets' care to panthers' care, I have pretty much been following the care sheet for panthers except for the cage size and the amount of food required since they get larger.
However, I have read in different places that Oustalet also like a dryer climate. I do understand that it doesn't mean desert, I was just wondering if I have to lower the humidity level in her cage compared to what is recommanded for panthers or if it should remain the same.
Thank you in advance :)

I think I would continue to provide wetter and drier cycles throughout the day instead of leaving the setup drier overall. Oustaleti may be from a drier climate, but the humidity level in the native brush may be higher for part of the day anyway. I would rather err on the slightly humid side than risk dehydration.
