an increase in temperature will automatically increase the humidity... these are directly related.

i think if the humidity is such that water condenses on the glass then thats too much humidity for a sick snake...

i think it is pretty much impossible to drop the relative humidity in a cage to 0% - i think keeping the cage dry and raising the temps a little is good... usually ambient humidity is in the 50% range anyway... depending on where you live, which is on the lower end of the acceptable range for retics.

i think it could be close to impossible to make the air so dry as to kill a snake with a mild RI... if so then the snake wouldnt die from the RI... but die from complications due to the dry air.
