Hey, congrats on your new ball!
I would probably try to raise the cold side a bit. Below 75 isn't recommended for them. You can raise ambient temps by either putting the set up in a warmer room or having a heat lamp or CHE. I have an infrared dome light on a dimmer so it's on the lowest setting and only produces heat around 80F which is enough to raise ambient temps to the cold side. I place my dome light near the warm side.
As for humidity, if you cover the top with aluminum foil (just leaving a gap for the lamp), it'll help keep humidity in. You can mist the enclosure every now and then and the humidity will stay in for quite a while. Keep in mind the lamp might suck some of this humidity out which is why you want to keep it at the lowest setting and this is why you mist every now and then.
You also want want to leave him/her alone in the enclosure for 5-7days just to acclimate to the environment. Then you can try a feeding. If it refuses, try again in at least 5 days. Offering too often can stress them out. Then once it finally feeds I personally wait 48 hours to handle. And from that, you can just find the schedule that works for you and your snake.
I hope I was helpful. Good luck!
