    You should have a warm and cool side at the correct temps. Most snakes will just chill in their fav place anyways so unless he seems really agitated and is refusing food then you should be fine. If you want to be really sure then you could take him to the vet but that might be overkill.

    As long as your snake can thermoregulate properly it'll be fine just feed it and give it water.

    Nope. As long as you know he has no parasites, he should be fine. My female would sit on the hot side for a few days at a time. She would move around but for the most part she would be on the hot side. Nothing to worry about as long as his belly doesn't get burned
