Heat mats generally go inside the viv covering approx 1/3 to 1/2 of the floor area.

As daz said.

Also, why the need for both the mat and the lamp?

quite often the instructions are generic - to cover all set-ups - fitting to the side or back wall would be for other reps not snakes.

the main thing to look for with heatmats is that it doesn't say to fit underneath a viv and NEEDS AIRFLOW - such as the E-T rainforest mats.......
