Have you tried the humidifier? Or you could make the Humidifier from the Do It Yourself section of the website.

Get rid of the heat lamps. A large heatpad on the warm end should be good enough. It's okay for your cool end to be a little below 80 (room temperature), as long as your snake has access to warmer temperatures. Worse comes to worst, you can use heatpads on both ends.
If you insist on keeping the heat lamps, use a very deep substrate that holds moisture well and/or put moistened sphagnum moss in the hides. It should be damp, but not wet. At least then it will remain humid inside the hides.

I got the Tropic Aire humidifier and air exchanger. Works great. I got it online somewhere, don't recall the URL. You also need to get an air pump (like for an aquarium). Total cost was about $20.

The Tropic Aire works great even w/ heat lamps.
Just get a pump for like a 55 gal tank and put duct tape over the screen or use the plexiglass
I used one in my old tank and my humidity was always at 55-60 no problem
Petco sells them as does most of the online reptile places
