Tank tempatures

Okay, just one more question from a newbie to snakes. I have researched a lot and saw that many different websites/people keep their tanks at different tempatures. I was wondering what tempature is really the best to keep a snake tank at. These are the current tempatures that I currently keep the tank at:

70 degrees at night, 75 degrees during day on hot end of tank

65 degrees at night, 70 degrees at day on cool end of tank

Please let me know if these is a good tempatures.

According to my Cornsnake manual, they like temps from 70-88 degrees, but I think they need higher temperature to digest their meals. I have a heat pad under one part of her hider rock and the other half is not on it. I also have a heat lamp on a basking rock that keeps the rest of the tank area around 75 degrees on the side away from the rock. At night, the heat lamp goes off, but the heat pad is always on. My snake is still small, so she can move from one area of the hider rock to another and have warm or cooler.
 
I would increase the hot end temps a bit. 75 - 88 degrees would be better during the day. Maybe a bit less at night although if you have a largish tank Id leave the temperature as it is and let the snake move to the cool end at night if it wants to.
 
Thank you very much, I just changed the temp on the hot side a little bit (gonna gradually change it throughout the day since he/she is often found on that end).

Thanks again!:)
