I agree. Just turn it off for a few nights. Just don't feed until you get the temp set correctly.
Yes, heat pads are supposed to be warm, but not that hot. If it feels warm to you, it will be too hot for your snake. Don't try to guess at the temps. Go to a hardware store or Wal-mart or somthing and get a digital thermometer with a probe and a plug in lamp dimmer as soon as possible.
And don't bother with reptile carpet or anything like that. It is difficult to keep clean, provides an excellent breeding ground for bacteria, and the snake will likely get under it anyway.
