you could always use a heat pad or water bottle (warm water, not hot) wrapped carefully and put in the viv?

7 hours wont hurt, dont worry too much.

They can go months without heat hiper but you cant feed them in that time. For that long they will go into hybernation.(is that spelt right)

Er, No!! One too many 'y's and not enough 'i's

And in response to the OPs Q, your snakey will be fine, the ambient temps during the day this time of year are quite warm enough. You might find your snake will come out for a little explore to try and find somewhere warmer.
