As long as you have it in a tank big enough so it can move from the warm side in the high 80's, and to the cooler side in the 70's to self-thermoregulate, things should be fine.

They are naturally found in very humid areas around water too, so 60% humidity sounds good too.

The important thing is to have a temp gradient available for the snake to choose from. Under tank heating(UTH) is better than above heat lamps, because it allows them to hide out of the light more naturally, plus UTH won't dry the humidity out of the cage and the animals skin like an above heat lamp does.
