I'm in Davis, so not too far away. I use tubs, so I haven't had shedding issues yet.
For humidity:
1) Large-wide water dish: wide surface area promotes greater evaporation
2) Use a substrate that retains moisture: Coco-husk or Cypress mulch
OR
Instead of fixing the entire enclosure, just provide your animal with a "Humid Hide".
Get a tupperware container with a lid and cut an entrance hole into it. Place damp paper towel or damp moss inside. This creates a humid micro-climate that the snake can choose to enter when it needs humidity
For temps:
Get some insulation foam board and surround your tank. A large board from Home Depot is only like $6. Insulating glass goes a long way in retaining heat.
It also might be wise to invest in a room space heater.
