what happens to the temp of the heat mat if my snake wriggles around to clear the aspen off the mat so she can get a better warm. I have it set to about 28 (digital thermometer on the) she seams to have pushed the mat stat probe off the mat.

I never tested for this before i put it in with her i just made sure it was an even steady temp before putting it in. She is quite new with me so im trying to avoid messing with her for a week or so but shes on the mat an the probe aint anymore.

Should i disturbe her an put the probe back on or will she be ok just leaving it?

Feel a bit daft asking it seems so obvious whan ya say it. Sorted it now trapped the wire under the hide so shouldnt move now till i get some glue. Thanks

If the thermostat probe moves away from the heat mat its about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Your mat won't be controlled and will get VERY hot. You need to fix your probe to the mat, I used a glue gun to fix mine but you can also use aquarium sealant.

Absolutely disturb her and fix your probe.
