How's my set up?

I have my female in a 35 gal tank with 2 identical hides at either end. On the hot side I have a UTH, and a 75W infrared bulb. Her water dish is big enough for her to soak in, and its pretty much in the middle but closer to the cool side. I also have 2 digital thermometers with the probs on the hot side, and the cool side, covered by fake plants. Lastly, there's a hygrometer in the middle of the tank. (Sorry about the picture quality, the only camera I have is my phone.)

Looks great! How are the temps?

not good right now, I think i may need to bump up to a 150W bulb

Specifically? On the warm and cool sides(The temp)?

like 80ish on the warm side and 70ish on the cool side. Don't freak out, I told you they were bad

Watch the plants on the hot side, the snake can crawl up that and touch the hot top. I had the same issue, I moved all my fake plants to the other side where there is no lamp at the top. Your tank looks almost exactly like mine except bigger

What substrate is that?

The light is far enough away from the top of the plant I dont think theres a serious danger, and the substrate is exo-terra forest bark.

you have the same tank (mines 15 gallon), lid, hides, water dishes as i do... whats your room temperature?? and also whats your humidity like?? since you have the same lid as i do, its lets out so much humdity... i cant get a proper look, are you using saran warp or tin foil to hold in humdity??? also where are u from?

ya theres nothing on the top to prevent humidity escaping, my room temp is about 70, and im from ontario

You could go to a store and buy a space heater for 20 bucks or so... that would bring your room up to 80.
