How to get humidity up for my ball

hello, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how i should get the humidity up in my 55 gallon tank for my ball?

the only way i know of is putting extra water bowls in the tank especially one right under the heat lamp. this is sort of inconvenient if you want to ever change around the scenery of the tank.

are there any other ways of rasing humidity?

Cover 3/4 of the top of the tank with plexi-glass, and have a large water bowl on the warm side of the tank for extra humidity, and also have another water bowl on the cool side so the snake has cool water to drink.

Getting a spray bottle and misting once or twice a day also helps. Fill the spray bottle with hot water and it will make everything nice and humid. The hot water won't hurt your snake, the spray cools in the air; you can test it on yourself.

I got a small water bowl and placed it under the heat, and I misted another thing to try is putting a wet rag next to the heat lamp(not under it) on the lid. Those all worked for me and I hope they work for you.
