Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you cannot afford basic proper care (& by that I mean adequate, reliable & regulated heat for their digestion) please do
not try to keep any pet snake...it's not fair to them. If you cannot afford a thermostat (or rheostat) to regulate the UTH, then it's a safe bet you cannot afford the
emergency vet care that this snake now also needs...please re-home it to someone who can take proper care of it, until your finances are such that you can provide
responsible care. Keeping pets of any kind means not just paying for the animal, & not just feeding it, not just buying a cage & adequate heating equipment, but it
also means having enough money set aside for whatever medical care may come up, without waiting to save for it while the animal suffers...that's just not right.
Unless you can borrow funds to take care of this now, please re-home this injured & hurting snake to someone (a rescue?) who can & will.

I don't have a temperature regulator but I will look for one (will the pads with built in ones work?)...

You mean like human heating pads, with the 3 buttons (low, med, hi)? Not reliable at all, & can be hazardous if used improperly. You might
be able to get away with using a "lamp dimmer" aka "rheostat" from local hardware store (not expensive at all, get the kind you plug a lamp
into the extension cord with sliding control to regulate, BUT be advised that some UTH does not easily take to being dimmed, and will just go
off instead of lowering the heat; all you can do is try it & see, not a big risk & lamp dimmers on a cord are always handy for over-head lights
(you can provide temporary heat that way too, but still need thermostat to make sure it's not too hot!) and they're handy for our own lamps
too.
