Light and Heat

So I have discussed enclosures before in a different thread but this is more specific.

I have an Albino Striped CA Kingsnake. I plan on getting a thermostat for her heat pad within the next few hours. I was thinking about getting a light for her tank. She is in 10 gallon currently(small baby), but I thought maybe she'd benefit from light or even a UV lamp.

Is it okay to use a low watt UV light AND a heat pad? Could/should I use a night and day UV light instead? Her terrarium is in a pretty dark part of the house so I thought it would be nice for her to have a light of some kind. Even if I don't get a UV lamp I could just get a normal light or hood to see her by.

It gets pretty cold in the house especially considering my housemate likes keeping the windows open in the winter and the house at a scorching 58*F.

Here is a pic of her current(unfinished) setup. She'll be getting cork bark walls and some other stuff later.
