It's been seen quite often where balls will get respiratory infections when humidity is constantly too low.
OP: at 40% like the you said, with the extra dish and the misting I think everything will be just fine

Re: My BP cooper seems to prefer it cold.

Redid the tank today. Warm side is at 102 with white light, and 89 with the Red light. Cool side is 69. Took Cooper a while to figure out how to squeeze into the smaller hides but he made it. I set the water bowl straight on the bottom of the tank so he can not longer burrow under it.

need a hot spit of 88-90 and cool side of 78-80
102 is too hot and will cause problems sooner than you think.
Get a thermostat to control all the heat otherwise youll have roasted snake.

It looks much better with the 2 smaller hides and fake plants!! You should put that lower wattage bulb over the small hide on the right side of the tank though. 69 is way too cold. The red light and the UTH are fine where they are right now, but definitely put the smaller light over that cool side hide.
