if dryness is that much of an issue, use a sphagnum moss hide/tray in your cage. we use 12x12 inch plant seedling trays, the same ones we use as hides (upside down) and fill them with 2 inches of sphagnum moss. keep it misted and clean.

it will raise the humidity of the cage in general, and it will offer the snake a moist place to sit or hide in.

also look to reduce the ventilation in the cage. if you are using a screen top, then you are just evaporating all moisture straight out of the cage immediately. cover the screen, or cover vents. you will get plenty of airflow through gaps in the lid/door, and from going into the cage daily.
