    Yes it matters, 98*F is way too hot for comfort and the rest of the area is too cold for proper digestion.

    In addition to not feeding for 2-3 weeks, get some NutriBAC from TheBeanFarm.com - it's a reptile probiotic that will help your snake recover. Dust a damp f/t feeder with a pinch of the powder.

    Your snake's next meal should be a small mouse dusted with NutriBAC. If that stays down wait two weeks before feeding a similar sized feeder. If that stays down then wait a week and feed another small meal. If that's ok then start feeding as normal.

    Also you mentioned "moving to feed". Feed your snake in its enclosure. No, it won't get cage aggressive, that's a myth spread by stores that want to sell you two enclosures rather than just one.

    ETA: post a picture of where your thermostat probe is in relation to the heat pad b/c I don't think you have it set up properly.
