If you are using a 60 or 75 watt bulb try droping down to a 40 watt or even 25 watt bulb.
It will drop the temps and still allow for light to see into the viv.
The cool side is fine.
It is a pretty decent indicator that the warm side may be a little to warm if your snake is spending it's time on the cool side.
I think that if you drop the temp on the warm side and increase the humidity a little the problem should go away.
