Those kinds of mats can be dangerous. Unless you spend more money and connect it to a rheostat, there is the possibility of burning your snake. What I do, and a lot of others here do also, is use a human heating pad from wal mart. Way cheaper, and they work perfect. Just make sure you don't get one with auto shut off.
