i dont mean to sound rude but when i was a kid and started doing this i always has a cage pre-setup and had already tested the cage for temp and humidity...
i have been doing this for so long that i dont even use a gage to tell the humidity... i can just feel and know if its good or not...
as far as the temp goes... with a screen cage i have found that the dome lights work the best, because you can up your wattage on the bulb to get the desired temp... 50-60% is not bad... but with an aquarium its hard to maintain a constant humidity... its not good for your snake if his humidity changes from 30%-60% during the day... so i would reccomend using a damp towel and watch it for the day and see if it remains constant... i live in kansas and its not as hot here...

another thing i have found to work is those towels you can get for your car to dry it off that soak up the water but even if their wet they dont drip.... if you keep one of those on the bottom of 1/2 of your aquarium they work great...

good luck
