    You really want to move your thermostat probe where your snake can't reach it. They can easily dislodge it, poop/pee on it and cause temperature spikes which you've just witnessed.

    I'm not sure what heat source you are using, but if it's an UTH you need it to be outside the cage like Craig mentioned, sandwiched between the UTH and bottom of the cage/tub.
