welcome, seems like things are going in the right direction. seriously think about a thermostat! to me they are a must have. a piece of flexwatt(heat tape) and a thermostat will go a long way in providing you and your snake the best. check out www.beanfarm.com for them. along with the caresheet on this site, get your setup correct and then have some patience. snakes don't always respond the way we want them to. feed it the way it was eating before and try to switch after he/she is eating steady.
