Cycling the humidifier on a timer would help. You wouldn't have the run it all the time, but can provide some wetter and drier cycles. Is the steam humidifier one that heats the water? If so, that limits its use for chams. You don't want it too close to the cage, and it will keep the room too warm at night. An ultrasonic type room humidifier won't heat the mist much (it is about room temp). To figure out how often and how long it will need to run, set it up right next to the cage and run it until the most humid area of the cage reaches 70% or so. Shut it off and time how long it takes that same area to get TOO dry again (below 40%). This tells you how long to set the timer for, and gives you an idea how many cycles you may need to maintain a better range.It is always going to be an issue for him because of where you live.
