I'm pretty sure the point has been made... I think the thing is that while peeps on this site definitely know what they are talking about, they tend to be really passionate, downright zealous sometimes, and have a tendency to "dogpile" on people... or maybe it should be called snakepile in this case..
So, skylord, a vet visit is a good idea, definitely get a thermostat and keep the warm spot between 88 and 90f, and remember that most snakes tend to do best with short handling sessions... think of them like introverted people, socialization is good, but they can only tolerate so much before it wears on their nerves. They are simple creatures, and the world is so big and loud and bright... it's alot for them to process.
The only bad keeper is one who refuses to correct their mistakes, and we all make them.
