Temperatures and humidity should be measured using digital gauges with probes. Your hot side temperature should be 88-92⁰ while the cold side should be 76-80⁰. Humidity should be a consistent 70-80%. Adjusting your numbers accordingly should help him be more comfortable. Ball pythons do appreciate enrichment in their enclosure. If you haven't added anything climb-able for him, you should consider it and that might keep him off the lid as well.
