An RHP mounted to the ceiling is the way to go for a wooden cage. A CHE will also work depending on the height of the cage but an RHP is definitely better. Placing a heat mat inside a cage is asking for a short at best and a fire at worst. Your temps are too high and can cause serious burns, you don't want anything that the snake can come into contact with to be any hotter than about 90. Also is the inside of the wood cage sealed against humidity? At the humidity levels required for proper husbandry wood will rot fast. I have built 4 wooden enclosures for various reptile and they can be great low maintenance cages if done properly but the setup is different then a glass tank or plastic tub.
