You may want to consider swapping out the turf bedding for newspaper or kraft paper, and give the snake a nice, thick layer to hide under. The humidity is naturally higher under the paper, and bloods love to hide under it.
Your hot spot is also quite warm. Blood pythons prefer cooler temps than other species. If you feel you absolutely need one, try bumping it down to 86-88, with an ambient temperature around 80-82 degrees.
Additionally, if you have the option to move this snake into a rubbermaid-tub style setup, it may significantly reduce the amount of "balancing" you have to do in terms of keeping humidity & heat in the correct range.
Just some food for thought...
