As long as you have a good source of heat thats always on CHE (ceramic heat emitter, emits heat but no light can always be kept on) or one of the lights that you can leave on for at least 8hrs a day the snake will be fine. I dont use any kind of guages and my snakes do just fine. they eat all the time with no issue other than my bigger one of the two will only eat live but that has nothing to with temps lol. I have a heat source that uses a light so i leave the light on from about 5 am to 6/7pm every day and the snake uses the heat as its leasiure (spelling is wrong). make sure you keep a water dish in there full @ all times. I see you have one in there now but if you can get a rubber maid plastic one so the snake can fully soak its body he'd appreciate that much more. also I mist my tanks a minimum of three times a day. they always shed in complete skins and I never get eye caps. since this is your first carpet (not sure if its your first snake) you might want to get some gauges but i dont find them to be needed.
