There is no fan in the room to cool it off.
The crate is made of 1/2 inch plywood and lined with black contact paper, sitting with back towards window that allows sun to warm it. I also have a heating pad in one corner but both snakes seem to prefer hiding behind the plants instead of lying on heating pad. I have no hide in there as the one corner is almost completely dark even during daylight hours and at night you cannot even see inside the cage.
Will more plants increase humidity or is there a small humidifier that I can buy to put inside the cage?

Outside on the porch was no problem temp was great as well as humidity.

Suggestions are more then welcome.
You said it has wire front you could get plexiglass to enclose the front to hold humidity in more. Picture would explain your setup more I don't think I have every seen a wire front on a tank. Your snakes are in the plants most likely because they feel more secure there.
