I've been using heat lamps since I started keeping snakes almost 20 years ago.

Yes, it's true, they do zap humidity. But, as long as you use a good substrate and have a decent sizes water bowl it shouldn't be hard to keep your humidity in the 50s.

And all heat sources should be regulated by a thermostat.

Just make sure they cannot be knocked over (like by a cat or kids playing).
