I had that same problem, I bought a humidifier for the room, helped out a lot.

You need something in the enclosure that can hold water. A damp towel, sphagnum moss, even a large piece of pumice.

I keep a damp towel on the top on the screened lid, and it keeps the humidity at 50-55%.

It's around 35% without it. Alternately, you can spend $30-50 on a humidifier just for the enclosure, but those can over-humidify pretty easily if you're not careful, which can lead to respiratory infections.

50% is a good target for normal operation.

Yeah I assume u r using a glass tank with screen lid, so cover the lid with either 80% aluminum foil folded over three times, or somepeople use plastic wrap, I use the aluminum foil works great, make sure to tape it down. And that there is enough room on both sides o the lid for air to move

Well if you check your snake regularly when it goes blue you can take a damp towel and put it over the top of the tank. You can also take a damp wash cloth and put it over the warm hide. This will keep up the humidity as well as give them somehting to rub on when in shed.

what substrate do you have, I have bark in my viv and i spray the bark with water to keep it damp. i find this helps create humidity as it dries out the bark. keep it damp in one area; so your snake can have a dry spot; and you should be fine! i hope this helps?

A light dries the air out quickly. Switch to a UTH and keep the top mostly covered and you should have less trouble.

Cyprus mulch I hear is awesome at helping maintain humidty especially when you tend to it weekly/bi-weekly by adding some water to it. Not alot but enough that its a little damp.

Great video I found showing as such
