Things to try:
Switch to a large room (3-5 gal) humidifier. Warm mist ones are my favorite because they help heat the room and dispurses the moisture best.

Check the seals on your room. How good is the door to the room? Could it use some weather stripping or a towel under the door to help stop airflow? Check the window sealant too. Do you use an exhaust fan?

Switch half of your bedding in the tubs to cypress mulch/bark. This material holds moisture well, resists molding, and is relatively inexpensive. I have the forward half of my tubs in cypress mulch and the back half in aspen or paper, depending on the snake. This gives them a dry place to lay and prevents belly rot.
