If it is really that high and you want to lower it I would invest in a small dehumidifier for your room and keep your door shut. I would not add a larger lamp and heat the snake up more seeing as all the air in your room is that humid.
I actually needed a bigger lamp because the only place warm enough turned out to be right underneath her half log. I got a digi thermo with a probe yesterday and measured in multiple places, and yeah... glad I got it. Her cool side was also too cold, so the heat lamp should at least solve the temperature issues.

I got a basic reptile hygrometer from Petco and I have my old hermit crab hygro laying on my desk that's measuring around 80%. I'm not worried about accuracy because the outside humidity is 78% right now according to NOAA and like I said, my room doesn't get any heating.

The door is pretty much always shut unless me or my roommate are home. The only time this room ever gets some heat is when we leave the door open for a while actually...

I'm not gonna worry about it if it's not gonna hurt her. But some people here said that it could be a problem, so I'm just making sure.
