I keep a cold house (bout 68 at all times) so my ball python 40 gallon glass tank has a UTH, ceramic heater and a set of low watt bulbs for alittle extra heat on the cool side and the day/night cycle.

I would say that if your temps are good but your humidity is the only problem try covering the top (outside) with foil tape and try the trick I use of placing moss in the hides. Then just mist it during regular times and make it damp during shed times. Doing this gives me perfect sheds.

Hope I read your post right and answered your question.
Actually you answered perfectly so I can assume you read perfectly as well ! Thanks that's actually what I thought just wanted to make sure....and thanks on the moss tip I'll definitely be using that...right now his hot side/ basking is never below 88 or above 91....and I don't have a second thermometer but I can imagine the cool side is about right seeing as my room is always around 75 and since his cage is rather small the heat lamp should have is cool side just about right I am definitely planning on getting a thermometer for the cool side the next chance I get though....that all sound about right?
