And a large water dish near the light. And a humidity\ thermoter stick on thing that came with the cage. I'll upgrade that to a better hergometer or however you spell it next time I get paid.
I'm no expert in heating matters, but could it be that the enclosure is too hot from the uth and the black bulb combined?
If there is no mites and adequate hides are provided, there is a possibility that the temperature is too high or the humidity is too low, in my opinion.
Also, snakes in shed will tend to search for higher humidity spots to aid in shedding.
