I then purchased a humidifier intended for large rooms and set it up in the snake room. Again, there was only marginal improvement. I hover between 38-41% with the humidifier.

I mist the cages once or twice a day, but with everything I do, my levels still suck, and I ALWAYS get bad sheds. In fact, one of my girls is in the "snake sauna" right now, due to incomplete shed.

What else can I do? I live in a dry climate and want my animals to receive optimum care. I am just frustrated and don't know what I can do from here to get this flipping humidity right.

Sorry to hear about your frustrations. Can I ask how large is the water bowl in the cage? I also live in a dry environment and I've found that using a combination of having a large water bowl, decreasing air ventilation (covering the cage screen) and using a substrate that can retain humidity works well. Experiment and try different combinations to fit your situation. Another suggestion is using a large tubberware, cutting a hole in the side and filling it with moist moss or other moisture retaining substrate.
