I've had my ball python for less than a week now and I've noticed that it gets EXTREMELY hot under one of his warm hides, sometimes reaching 100+ºF. I have a 30 gallon tank and my snake is fairly small, and he seems to enjoy being under his hot hide. I have a ZooMed 30-40 gallon UTH and a ZooMed thermometer, which I now keep under his hot hide. Do you think my snake is damaged by now?? He stays in those temperatures all day and I can't seem to lower them to consistently keep it at 92ºF or so. I am very scared and want whatever's best for him, I need to know whether this is harming him and how to fix it.
PLEASE HELP ME

Sidenote: the ambient temp/cool side temp is usually around 76º

He doesn't seem to be going back and forth to regulate his temperature.
P.S. He is alive.


ANY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED
