Kyle, the other option is to purchase a "versa top" for the 30 gal. tank. That will solve your humidity issues. The 98f is very high though. Versa tops are sold at Petland , Petco and Petsmart. Just a thought. A versa top will keep your humidity in the range of 60 - 75%. You will have to be cognizant of your ambient temps however bc it will make your ambient temp rise a bit also.

Op.... you seem to have a lot of issues with your retic. It's time to stop messing around and get stuff done correctly.

Fix the enclosure.
Fix your jacked up husbandry.

Talented people are telling you what to do. It's time to listen.

Awesome to know that SOME people who buy these beautiful LARGE creatures don't think ahead and do literally NO research into husbandry of the animals they purchase. Your snake probably hates life right now because you're too lazy and quick to purchase. Its not the most expensive thing in the world to get the correct setup going and its certainly not difficult. Pretty cage or a dull boring tub. Get it done.

A 30 gal is pretty small for two heat lamps. Where does the snake go for a cool side? I agree with others above and get a plastic bin until such time as you can get a bigger cage

Whatever substrate you have should be replaced with 100% cypress mulch also.

He can use aspen as well for bedding but as stated he needs to get a much bigger tub of enclosure and get out of the glass. You do realize in the future you will need an enclosure with a minimum of 6X2x2 for this snake and it won't be cheap
