How long exactly is the tank? A snake will do fine in a cage that's length is at least 2/3rd's of it's own. In other words, a 3 foot long snake will do fine in a 2 foot long and 1 foot wide.
What substrate IS he on? Is he on some type of wood chipping? Or newspaper? As long as the newpaper is evenly spread amongst the bottom of the cage, and is three papers thick, the substrate is fine. Of course, it would really help if we knew what the substrate was.
A heat lamp should suffice well in a school, because school's are heated anyway, so the ambient air temperature of the school should well replace any additional heating he may have needed. If you are really worried, just tell him maybe he should purchase an under tank heater. Whatever you do, do NOT encourage him to use heat rocks. They are very dangerous and are the #1 cause of burns amongst reptiles.
More people will be along who are more into boa constrictors than I am. Hang on.
