Update
Here is a picture of my 15 quart tub setup for critique's:
http://i41.tinypic.com/fv9pux.jpg
I have a consistant 93-94F on the warm side (which is the bottom half of the picture) and a 79F on the cool side (the top half of the picture), running about 80-90% humidity.
Is there anyway to boost the cold side?
Is the 80-90% humidity too much?

79F isn't too bad for a cold side. I would just leave it. It's more difficult to bump up cool sides in a tub set up. You can try upping the ambient temp in the room.
80-90 humidity sounds a bit high. But rule of thumb is as long as there's no moisture on the sides of the tubs, I wouldn't worry about it either. You can try using a smaller water bowl if it becomes an issue.

I dont see any pics?
For the cold side 79 is fine but I would only keep it 80-90% humidity if your snakes in shed.

Re: 15 quart tub set up?
I left the image as a link, because using the IMG tags in the preview stretched the page.
So, I have the water bowl over the warm side at the moment; should I move it to the cool side to cut the humidity down?

I can see the photo fine.
Yeah, move the water bowl to the cool side. I usually only move mine to the warm side is if I want to bump the humidity up.
But like I said previously, your can try using a smaller water bowl. The bowl looks too large for that size tub.

About what dimensions are your hides? I'm getting some of that sort online and I want them to fit just like that in my tub. Beautiful bp by the way

The hides are Reptile Basics SMALL hides, with a small piece of cork bark and a small ceramic water bowl.
For size comparison he weighs about 100g in that pic. In my experience the small hide works until around 200g, then you have to go up to the medium, and only one will fit in a 15q size tub.

Mine have tops that lock on. Other have them in a rack.

I have the same, secure locking lid via handles on the sides.
