The problem with mats an vivs is u will never find a mat that's perfect size that's why it's a warm zone aprox 1/3-1/2. I spent ages trying to work our what mat to use. I could of got an ideal size but that ment using 2 mats side by side which I didn't fancy. The 7-11 in my 3ft is big enough to get a large hide on and have room next to it incase snake fancies curling up in warm end but not in hide so it works for me

Surely as long as the mat is big enough for the snake to fit it's full body on, then it's fine.

I use heatstrips for my large rubs and they only cover 1/4 of the base but are plenty big enough for the snakes to lay on.
