Just remember that kings/milks are snakes which are not in the open very much, and their somewhat thin skin is evidence that they keep themselves in areas where they don't dry out. Especially milks. Doesn't mean they are wet either. If you can mimic that in captivity, whichever way works, then you are doing well for them. You will know by their overall look and feel when they are maintaining good water balance.
I don't know how many inches of towel it takes. You will know better than me with your setup and your ambient conditions. Don't be afraid to cover too much, then back off from there. Consider wood or plastic tops. Fun to make and very effective along with a substrate and/or hides that tightly surround the snake and limit open air contact.
