How do I get the coolside warmer?

[fluffpuffgerbil]

Hi, I just got my snake yesterday, and was told not to worry too much about her husbandry at the moment and that it sounded fine, but the cool side is now down to 70.7*F....
I'm just about to glue down the probe so it will measure the temps accurately.
I know i'm not supposed to handdle her,, but when I wok up, her hotside was 98*F! I checked her over for burns quicklyy, because I've heard of the horror stories before. She seems fine, a little stressed right now, but I just got her, so yeah...
HUmidity is around 80% right now, but there's no condensation.
Her cool side is just too cool. How do I get the temps up without getting another heatpad for that side? (BTw, I'm using a light dimmer to regulate the heating pad, but I ordered a thermostat yesterday and should be here this week or next week. Until then I'm watching her temps like a hawk.)
