I need the right temps and humidity

Warm side temperature - 90-95
Cool side temperature - 80-85
Ambient(air) temperature - 80
Humidity - 55-60% during non-shed, 75-80% during shed
As for how you achieve those numbers, it’s up to you. All I can say is with ball pythons, belly heat is preferred. Probably the best way to achieve good steady temperatures is to place some flexwatt heat tape under one half of the cage, and have it regulated by a thermostat.

I’m not one to plug sites and stuff, but here’s a good place to get some heating supplies. Cage heating is his specialty. He’s also one of the more honest people in the herp business. MGReptiles.com He definitely gets my future business.
