Wow it really does get difficult to help people out when people are willing to post "don`t listen to so and so" Aaron. Obviously a hygrometer should be used yes but at a glance the first thing I see wrong/not helpful here is the fact that it doesn`t look humid in there at all. A screen top won`t keep any moisture it at all, you need an enclosed environment which a screen top certainly isn`t. Glass tanks, no matter what label the shop puts on them aren`t suitable in the slightest. Wood or plastic is best and in this high humidity species, that leaves plastic. Might I suggest Bonecrusher, as I see you`re going to make your beautiful Blood an enclosure, that you look into using some form of plastic? Being careful it will withstand the heating of course. It might be worth checking the cost of your build against the cost of a nice Herptek plastic tank second hand, those things are just the best but they are pricey if bought new. Well worth looking for a cheap deal though! I use moss aswell, I put quite a bit of it in a seed tray right at the warm end and I give it a good soaking every day, with the odd day here and there left out. I also have a moss hide with a hole just big enough for them to get through and a decent amount of moss in there. This wants checking fairly often but you can usually tell when they`ve soiled it if you watch your Blood often. They`ll start to hang out in the corner instead of in the moss hide where they`d prefer to be. Usually because they`ve left a huge turd for you in the moss hide. lol Obviously because it`s so humid in there, (mine are 75-80% cyclic and down to 60%) any missed turds OR shed skins will quickly go mouldy and you want to try and avoid that. I notice you say there`s only one pet store near you, can you order from the internet and have your stuff delivered? Right then, that`s how I keep my Bloods, those are my observations of your set up and this has been my genuine attempt to help
