Personally, I'd make a "humid hide" out of a large plastic food container (the kind with a snap-on lid, leave the lid on, & cut a doorway into the top for the
snake to come & go; put some moss in the container, fully saturate it & then pour off excess water, snap the lid- with "doorway" on, & show it* to your snake).
You can let him find it on his own, or you can gently hold him so his face is near the hole & he'll probably want to go in & check it out.
Damp moss on newspaper (under a regular hide) will just make a mess...your snake can have problems from being on damp newspaper, whereas the moss
holds the humidity & yet has plenty of air spaces in it...that's the difference.

Re: moss in a vivarium with newspaper substrate?
Thanks Bogertophis. This is sort what i was thinking to do in the end. The moss on the newspaper didnt seem like a great idea but whated to check if that was also what others thought.

Actually I think the damp moss would also dry out faster setting on paper, as the paper could wick the moisture away from it. But either way, messy on paper.
