| good call a, substrate can act as insulation preventing much of the heat getting to the snake. if you're on beech chippings, bark or aspen/hemp try a thinner layer (1cm or less) over the heatmat to allow the heat to get through, alternatively you could try using paper or kitchen roll/towel to get the temps up a little |
