Your snake's body temperature should be the same temperature as it's surroundings. It's.... COLD BLOODED.

Snakes and reptiles in general are poikilotherms, meaning there body temp is dependant on atmospheric temperatures, but are infact a couple of degrees higher. It is by this means that a female can incubate her eggs by increasing temp with muscular contractions similar to how we shiver.
