>> if the cooler side is too hot, wouldn't covering it make it more hot?
Yes except you need to lower the power on the bulb to compensate. You might go with a 40 watt at first.

>> Also, I'm having trouble believing these temps and humidity is accurate. I think the tank i have him in might be a thick plastic (plexi-glass type) could this affect the read outs on my stuff? He hasn't touched the water bowl, i figured this is odd since he's shedding.. when you say mist the cage daily is it make everything damn or a couple sprays? i just want to clarify so i don't get my snake sick, thanks
If you are using one of those tape/strip thermometers, get rid of it. They are hardly reliable. Get a real thermostat so you can determine the correct temps. Spray to get damp but not wet.
