I have mine outside. But put the probe and thermometer inside so you get an accurate reading from inside the Faun.

As Simmy82 says put the mat on the outside of the faun. I have the thermometer probe inside to read the temperature that the snake is actually experiencing but the probe I have on the outside in direct contact with the heatmat. You then adjust the mat temperature relying on the digital thermometer for readings rather than the dial on the thermostat.

No keep it. It'll be fine. It will do for when you need to go to a bigger vivarium.

Nah, not worth it. Does the job and will be find as in 6 - 8 months you'll need to buy a bigger one when you increase the Faun/Viv size.
