You're missing the most important part, a thermostat. An unregulated heat pad can easily heat up to unsafe temperatures and burn your snake. I'd unplug that right now and use only the heat lamp to keep the Temps up until you can get a thermostat in there. A lamp dimmer can also work but needs monitoring and adjusting as the Temps in your room fluctuate. Thermostat options are hydrofarm, vivarium electronics, helix, and herpstat. Shop around and remember you get what you pay for, a $30 hydrofarm will malfunction way before the $100+ thermostats but the more expensive ones work better and once set up you barely have to worry about them
