Listen to this ^^^^ I'm sure your temp is 85 ambient, you need to check the temp under the substrate on the glass over the hearing pad and I guarantee it is well over 100 which will burn your snake and it must be no higher than 94 under the substrate. You need a temp gun or digital thermometer with probe to take your temps correctly. Human body temp is 98.6 so the human heating pad heats at over 98.6 so us as human can feel the heat from them. Uth don't heat the air and neither do human heat pads, they heat the surface above them, if they increase your air temp by a significant amount that means they are running way to hot. You need to unplug it and use a night bulb or che to keep your cage at proper temps or around the mid 80s until you get the proper equipment. You need a reptile uth, a thermostat to regulate the amount of heat the uth gives off, and a reliable ir temp gun or a reliable digital thermometer with probe like the acurite 00891. If you do not stop using the human heat pad your snake is going to get burned eventually, they are also not made to run 24/7 and is an extreme fire hazard.
