It sounds like you're using an unregulated UTH at this point. I'd recommend that you either raise up the tank from the UTH or place enough substrate on the bottom of the cage so that it doesn't get too hot for the snake. Also, you might want to think about getting a thermostat for the long term. Even the most expensive one is a small price to pay for as long as you'll have your new snake.

Good luck, and be sure to post some pics when you get a chance.
thanks
