The snake looks to me to be a Florida King but there are varying patterns to the Florida king. Could be crossed with a Florida and Eastern king. The temp is good for that snake they are pretty easy to take care of. I wouldn't add a basking lamp as they can get pretty hot and the snake will shed in an incomplete piece because basking bulbs suck the humidity out of the air in the tank.

For feeding a pinkie every 2 days seems too much to me. I would feed 2 pinkies or 1 hopper mouse once a week. Sticking to a once a week schedule is usually a good rule of thumb when it comes to snakes. He looks big enough to down a small hopper. But either kill it or buy it frozen as live can take a good bite out of your snake.
