You need a more accurate way to measure temperatures. Either a temp gun or a digital thermometer for both the hot side and cool side. I think if you get one to measure both sides you'll realize it is impossible to get the proper heat gradiant on both sides of a 10 gallon. You'll either have to settle on the warm side being to cool or the cool side being too hot. Go to the store and get at the minimum a larger sized rubbermaid tub for the time being or a 20 gallon long aquarium and cover the screen. I hope you didn't stick the heating pad to the bottom of the 10 because it probably will not be able to be reused even if it is big enough for a 20L.
Once the husbandry conditions are corrected and you let the snake settle in their new home for a couple weeks you may find that it starts eating due to the relief from the stress of being kept in the improper conditions.
