    Well since it's an under tank heater, you'll want to have it outside of the enclosure, underneath of it. And have your thermostat probe in contact with the uth. Dial in your temperatures using a temp gun or digital thermometer. The setting on the thermostat will likely need to be higher than your desired cage temps.

    Regarding the hides, I would make sure to have two identical hides. One on the cool end and one on the warm end. The set up you are describing makes me think your snake will likely choose the hide that makes it feel most secure rather than the one that is at a preferred temperature.

    Before you stick the mat to the bottom of the tank do yourself a favor.
    Get foil tape!!
    Coat the mat with foil tape sticky side to sticky side. Then you will use the foil tape to hold the edges of your mat to the bottom of the tank.
    The probe will go between the mat and the glass outside the tank.
