i know i have to fix the heat mat to the bottom of the viv with stat but do i just place the substrate thin on top or cover the heat mat so snakey can't come into direct contact with the heat mat.
cheers guys

just will a thin layer will do. as long as your mat is at the right temp it doesn't matter if your snake comes in direct contact with it.

I have a very thin layer of aspen over the heat mat. My snake does move the aspen around in her warm hide and lays directly on the mat (has a stat controlling heat so no issues)

On the cool side the aspen is much thicker and my snake likes to burrow into it.
