To the OP, after what you have already bought, the only other thing you need to buy is another hide for the cool side. (the cave type hides are better than the half log style ones as they like it dark and tight during the day while they are sleeping) That way you have a hide on the hot and cool sides. You can simply cover the screen top with a piece of wood or plexiglass and that will solve your humidity and heating problems. If you are still having a problem with humidity, buy a live plant, like a pothos, and put the entire thing with the pot inside the tank. It will increase the humidity and also give more ground cover for your snake to feel secure.

Basically this. I don't know if you already have a thermostat but you will want to get one of those if you don't already have one. Leaving your heat source on without any kind of controller can cause over heating.
You don't even need to get wood or plexiglass. Anything that can cover the screen top sufficiently will do.
