Although moving the cage away from the light is a way of controlling temps, you should use a lamp dimmer. They sell a plug-in model (tabletop type) that works well with no wiring needed by you.

You can also use a second lamp dimmer for the heat pad to keep it from getting too hot.

And of course, a thermostat is best for the light bulb during Summer when the room may get warm. Excessive heat is bad even for snakes from very hot areas.
