The analog/dial type stick-on thermometers are inaccurate at best, dangerous at worst as they tend to unstick themselves from the side of the enclosure and then end up stuck on your snake. Get digital thermometers with probes.

What are you using for heat sources, what kind of thermostats are you using to ensure that the enclosure doesn't get to hot and burn your snake, and where are the thermostat probes located?

How long have you had this snake and where did you buy it?
I bought it from a snake breeder that's been breeding snakes for decades near my town...I have had the snake for 6 to 7 months now... using heat lamps, 2 lamps on one side of tank, both red lamps, side with lamps is 90 degrees according to stick on temp and humidity gauge and I also have a temp and humidity on other side of tank both are in the bottom corner of the tank.....20 gallon tank, been feeding large frozen mice, thawed then warmed under hot water in a bag, she has been eating the large mice for a couple if months now...I put tin foil over top of cage to keep heat in and moisture in due to the screen top...maybe I should get heat lamp for other side of tank as well.
When she eats mouse is gone in a couple of minutes doesnt seem to be struggling when eat,
