First of all get a good digital thermometer hygrometer to measure your temps and humidity. The stick on gizmos are close to worthless.
Second - ditch the heat lamp and invest in the correct size under tank heater.
Covering the tank is a good idea - but try getting a piece of plexiglass or wood to cover it with even a simple sheet of pegboard will work better than a towel.
You do not want to put your water dish under the heat lamp for two reasons - first being that the heat will cause bacteria to grow in the water - not healthy for the snake - also the evaporation from the dish can short out the heat lamp - not healthy for anyone especially if it causes a fire.
Hope this helps.
