New snake help

Hey guys,

I got a new corn snake about 5 days ago. I fed him three days later because he hadn’t eaten recently and he went into one of his hides and never really moved or came out for 2 days. I felt him after 2 days and he was cool to the touch and never really moved. Once I set him down he went into the corner and back into his hide. Should I be concerned or is this normal after eating and adjusting to a new place?

The hot end of the tank is at 81 degrees which I know is a bit cool. I’m trying to get my UTH set up but currently have an incandescent bulb set up. Once I set up the UTH should I stop using the lamp? Should I use a uvb bulb? Will these changes make him a bit more active?

Sorry for all the questions, I’m just a nervous wreck This first go around
