FR's response is very good, please read.

Here are some choices you have.

Choice 1: Reduce ventilation - Cover most of a screen top if that is what you have, and then have a water dish large enough such that humidity levels are in the moderate range. Also provide tight hides.

Choice 2: Provide localized humidity - Use a humidity chamber. Example, a plastic shoebox with a hole cut out and filled with damp moss or eco earth. Place 1/2 over the heat.

Choice 3: Manual maintenance hydration - Soak the snake in a plastic shoebox with just 1/4 inch of water in it, for like 3-5 minutes. I usually place the last 2 inches of the box over a heat source. Doing that once in awhile usually ensures a hydrated snake, even when kept in a dry cage. I do that every few weeks with mine when ambient humidity gets low while I am cleaning cages. Works amazingly well for their general well-being and skin tone.
