90-95 is considered 'ideal' on the warm side, while 80-85ish is considered 'ideal' on the cool. So... yes! You have the upper ends of 'ideal' on both sides.

Ambient humidity of 50-60% is considered good as a general rule. However, when your snake goes into shed you should bump the humidity up to about 60-70%. You may also try adding a humid hide for him/her at those times. (If you leave it in all the time he may take to using it even when not needed, which can lead to conditions associated with being kept in too much humidity.)

Brought my humidity levels up to 70% and 60%.

^ unless he's shedding, you don't really want to keep them as high as 70. Try to stick with the 50-60 range, bring it up for sheds, then drop it back.

95 & 85 is a little hot. I would suggest cooling the entire enclosure by 5-7 degrees. Warm side 88-90 cool side 78-80. Humidity 50-60%. Should get pretty good results there.

The t-stat that I have right now leaves my hot side at 89-93, is that going to be ok? If I take it down more, it'll go from 86-90, kinda weird, but that's what I have until I can order a helix.

It only sits at 93.7 for about 30 seconds and then drops back down to 92 something. That should be ok right? Cool side stays at 81-82 during the day and 78-80 at night.
