Get a thermometer and stick it about an inch or two above the bottom of the tank at both sides, so you know the hot and cool ends that it'll be living at. Then you know when you need to have the pad on or off.

Don't forget a big enough waterbowl for the snake to dunk itself in, rough climbing stuff for exercise/shedding, and a hidey. My big snakes like shoeboxes, for my baby I'm using whatever kinds of boxes that're small enough around the house.
