We used to use aspen and had the same problem. We needed higher humidity for the ball pythons and boas. Switching to cypress mulch helped a lot, and we don't have to mist our king snake enclosures much at all to keep their humidity up.

Also as Terranaut pointed out, don't expect months/years of neglect to be fixed right away. We got a ball python last January who also had been neglected, way too dry, with multiple retained eyecaps, no UTH, no attempts to feed him in months. His first shed was awful, the next one merely bad, but each one is a little better.
