ok, there are a few issues, but nothing too bad.
1 the thermometers that are sold n pet stores are crap. they are inaccurate and will totally stop working in about a month or so.
This is what you want:
They cost $12 at Walmart and you only need 1 (it measures 2 separate temperatures and humidity)
2 the heat lamp is all you need at this point, the UTH should be unplugged as it can burn your snake.
UTH's need to be regulated by a thermostat. otherwise they get to around 110 degrees. this will burn and can even kill your snake.
There are a few good thermostats on the market, none of them come from pet stores. Overall most things sold at pet stores are overprices and aren't the best anyway.
Here are the 2 thermostats I recommend, but for now just unplug the UTH
Hydrofarms are sold on amazon for $30, they work ok but there are much better (this is the budget option)

Herpstats are the best, but cost more ($99 for the basic model) they are much more accurate and are what I use
