Do you have a thermostat for the heat mat?

That maybe why its fluctuating so much. You really need a thermostat.

Turn the heatmat off until you have got your thermostat. 50C is dangerously high. You are looking at a high risk of burns and neurological damage for you snake.

Not at this time of year. You should have the stat in a day or two.

EDIT: Just dont feed it until you have your new stat and the temperature has stabilised.
