Here's the product your looking for
http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90192071/

Really good product. Does not emit any heat so even if snake decides to have a look no burns.

Also contains everything you'll need to secure it inside your viv.

Good Luck

PS all loyalties go to Auld Baldy - whos working undercover for Ikea on this forum

My viv came with the heat lamp and socket thingie to put it in.. No holes whatsoever for a heat mat... I got my snake incl the viv and other basic snake stuff from a so called 'reptile expert shop thing'

Just stab a hole in that mesh stuff and you can stick in as many wires as you like!

Just be a little conservative.. holes always end up bigger then you think in mesh.

Not sure if the hole stabbing will work tbh.
I'm going to place the heat mat underneath in stead of in the viv anyway :)
