Heat on both sides???

Just see the truth
Sounds OK for OK for a start. Do you have anything to check the temperatures on both end of tank. One at the warm side where a one hide should be and another at the cool side. (Warm side should be around 80-85 degrees and cool about 70-75 degrees)
And do you have fresh water in about the middle of tank??
The lamp is for your convenience to see the snake, not really for the snake or a heat source.
Like I said it's a start.
Good luck with your snake and ask if you have any more questions.

Lennycorn is right about the temps (at substrate level), but you should try to achieve the warm-side temps with the UTH alone, and ditch the lamp. Lamps dry out a viv considerably, and low humidity causes problems. If you want the lamp for lighting, use a fluorescent bulb that gives off very little heat. Place a towel over the other side of the screen top to retain humidity. Water bowl size and placement can also be used to regulate humidity. Good luck.
