first of all welcome to the forum.
you will find out very soon that everyone here will tell you to get a thermostat of at least a rheostat to monitor/adjust your heat pads. and your gonna get yelled at for the sticker type thermometer, so just get two digital ones, one for each side
then you will find that most people here will tell you not to feed in a different enclosures for various reasons such as; that its might cause regurgitation, unnecessary stress, and as long as feeding time isnt the only time you put your hand in the cage, there really isnt any good reasons.
after that you will find that we are very often overkill when it comes to the husbandry and care for these animals. you didnt mention humidity, which is just as important for ball pythons as temperature. if your animal is in a glass tank, humidity might be a problem. you can either mist it regularly, or cover half of the screen top to keep the moisture in.
other then that, id have to say this is one of the best "new guy" posts ive seen. i mean two hides, thats really good. it shows youve done some solid research. you can start handling him after 10 days or so, just not 24 hours after a meal. let the guy/girl settle down and see where it spends most fo the time before you worry about temperatures, which seem okay (just of the top of my head)
if you have anymore questions please feel free to ask, welcome again, this is the best place for info on ball pythons. and you have done a good job
