Lowering humidity

So I live in Georgia. If you've ever been here then you know it's humid.

Really humid.

I mean it's so humid it's a little ridiculous and it never really goes away.

I knew this might end up being a slight problem with the snake tank, but I've been getting humidity readings with a digital hygrometer and it's sitting between 47% and 51%. I have a rosy boa and I've read in numerous places that around 30% is ideal for them.


My question is this: does anyone have any suggestions for lowering humidity?

I have a fan blowing over the top of the enclosure to allow air to circulate, but that changes humidity by 2-3%.

There is no water-bowl in the enclosure. The substrate is Reptibark (at the moment) which I might want to change out for aspen because I've read that aspen can lower the humidity levels more.


I'm even considering a de-humidifier if that will help the little guy.
