First 100º is way to high 94 at the most but I'd recommend less than that 92 no higher. The reason is that most cheap thermometers are not very accurate no better that 2 degrees -+ IR guns are about the same unless you spend serious bucks on them. (100+)
Don't place any TAPE INSIDE the enclosure use silicone or hot melt glue (let it cool before returning the snake) Not Tape.
Are you using a 500r thermostat or is it a rheostat one? The 500r should be able to go cooler the rheostat too but it depends on the wattage of the pad. Try this for a quick fix remove the pad from the tub and leave a small air space between the tub and pad that should reduce the temp until you can figure out what is wrong.
I will always recommend a proportional thermostat as the most valuable part of any set up many will argue with me over that but that is my opinion. You can set the temp on one and it will feather the power to the heating unit to maintain the correct temp. It will also handle variations in the space that casual keepers often have. Rheostats won't they require steady room temps to work.

The tape was probably creating a heat bubble, so all the air got trapped and re-heated, giving you a bad reading.
