Maybe you should change your thermostat so that it reaches higher temperatures where the probe is, the heat should spread throughout the tank and create ideal cool and warm sides of the tank. I don't think that getting a UTH pad would be truly beneficial to you as the lamp creates the ideal air temperature. The mesh on the top of your tank is doing no good for both the heat and the humidity levels. You should try covering part of the mesh with a wet towel in order to trap heat and humidity in. If you don't want to do that, there is another amazing solution known as sphagnum moss. Line her hides with this, or just one of them and ensure that you keep it reasonably damp. That will do the humidity a whole world of good, all though you're probably just going to lose it slowly thanks to the mesh. I use a wooden vivarium so I don't have the mesh issue, but I usually line one of my BP's hides with sphagnum moss and then get a *tiny plastic bowl and fill it with moss. Keeping that moist really helps me with humidity when I need it.
Good luck, and welcome to the snake world (congratulations on your purchase too!).
