| I just put my mat inside the viv and sprinkle a little substrate over the top, and a heavy hide to keep it down. |

What Sexybear said.
A polystyrene tile on top of the mat will insulate it. |

| You can also put some aquarium sealant around the edges of the mat to safely stick it down. With my snakes only being small when I set up their viv,none of their furniture was heavy enough to hold the mat down so this was the best option for me. |

| just be warned 4 ft is a big viv for a corn, unless hes a big boy. a big viv might cause issues like not feeding etc. a 3ft is a much better option |
