Hi,
I can't speak to the product as I have never used it.
But it would indeed need a screen to prevent the snake getting to the bulbs.
What kind of lid do you have at the moment ( I know you said regular screen but is it sliding etc ) - it would probably be easier to give that the tinfoil screen lid treatment.
Every one of those lamps actually makes your humidity problem worse so I would recommend getting rid of the UV and one of the others and replacing them with a red (or ceramic ) bulb that can be left running 24/7. On a thermostat or dimmer of course to control it.
Nice improvising with the grocery bags too - I used aquarium backing for mine.
What you can try is insulating the sides, back and bottom of the tank to help keep the heat in.
You can use foamboard, cork sheeting or the foil coated insulation (reflectix? ).
That should cut down the need for heating letting you run the bulb at a lower level that won't impact humidity as much.
When you say F/T fuzzy are you talking about fuzzy rats? I ask because BP's generally can handle half grown mice straight out of the egg (size wise - don't feed snakes just out of the egg).
