Just get some of the heat packs that we use to ship herps. They last for different periods of time (often 30 - 40 hours or so). You need them only if it gets REALLY cold (below 45 or so) or if they have food in their guts. Corns are easier that way than pythons and boas. Remember that the heat packs use oxygen, so don't make the cage airtight - maybe wrap a blanket around it if you are using the heat packs. Or just put the heat pack under the hide box and insulate the box with something. Then the snake can leave if it gets too hot. Peek at the thermometer in the cage or hide box occasionally to see if you need more than one pack. Be careful not to overheat. They are cheap insurance and last practically forever if you don't open them.

See the link I posted in a thread below (a few days ago) about shipping snakes if you need more info on the heat packs or where to get them.

Don't use a propane grill in the house - that can be dangerous.
