I'm not going to comment on her having almost no chance of being het for anything, as that's already been covered.... A lot.
As far as the temp/humidity goes, I guarantee you there are people on this forum who live in the same region as you. There are people on here from all over the US and the world, and whether they're in Alaska, Florida, or Turkey they all have to provide the same temp and humidity for their snakes. You say you're working on temps/humidity, but that's not really a fair assessment. When people say they're working on that, it usually means they're taking a day or two to get everything where it needs to be; in your case it's been months.
When it comes to 'breaking the bank' for your pets, that's not something someone gets a gold star for. It's just what you're supposed to do when you have pets. I've eaten nothing but pasta for months so I could pay both vet bills and rent before, and that goes for getting the caging and equipment to give them the proper temps/humidity/food too. If a proper habitat is something you can't afford, then it doesn't make you a bad person, but it does mean you can't afford a pet.
When it comes to how I might feel if someone told me how to raise my 'babies': I'd take their advice. Taking the advice of people who know more than me about my animals has not only helped me become quite knowledgeable about them, but it's a big part of why I currently have several reptiles and amphibians sitting at literally twice their expected lifespan. If someone tells you your kid should be wearing a blue shirt instead of an orange one, that's pointless and you'd have every right to be angry. If someone tells you your kid is playing on train-tracks and you need to go get them out of there, then you should take that advice and be grateful for it. You're not getting 'shirt advice' here, you're getting 'train-track' advice.
EDIT: There are not many re-purposed TV stands inside African termite mounds.
