Snakes feel cold to us to touch as our body temperature is higher than theirs. You should be able to run the mat with your tub, just plug it into your stat and get the stat sensor and thermometer probe fixed to the mat and run it for a couple of hours to get the temp right and then put the mat under a third to half of the tub when you are happy with the temps.

What a gorgeous little thing. I have 2 butter motleys and they are one of my favourite morphs.

It sounds like you are getting on top of things as much as you can.

mine is pretty much stone cold every time i pick him up.

I wouldn't worry though as if they get too cold for themselves they'd soon move to the warm end :-)
