Two suggestions.
First you could use cypress mulch for substrate as moisture will not bother it (the biggest advantage of cypress as a substrate).
As an alternative, or in addition to cypress mulch, buy some squat deli containers with lids that come pre-punched with 1 inch holes in the middle of the lid (approx. 20 cents apiece). You can get these from Superior enterprises or directly from fabri-kal. These disposable deli containers can be put in an appropriately sized piece of PVC pipe/conduit to make it harder for the snake to tip over. The lid with the small hole in the top prevents the snake from trying to lay in his water - as they can just stick their head in to drink.
