If so ditch the lamp. The lamps suck humidity out of the tank like crazy. An undertank heater is a much better choice. The snake can benefit from belly heat when digesting food.
Used with a thermostat you should have no problem maintaning the hot spot at 90-92.
A hot spot of 85 is kind of chilly.
The snake im sure is in no danger with the bulb and the temps your at, but you may find yourself running into problems later with other husbandry issues.
If perfection in husbandry can be reached then you have a healthy and happy snake.
I actually maintain about 55% humidity without even spraying. I had to take the stuff off the top of the tank to LOWER the humidity. (i live in a dorm, idk whats up with the high humidity, guess its just the southeastern US's humidity)

I think im moving him to a friends apartment tomorrow where it should be warmer so will that be sufficient until i have my snake rack?
