Well then... I see you are completely open to the advice you requested.
I'm sure that your customers would be pleased to know you've brought a snake and mice into the restaurant.
Buy a PLASTIC critter keeper for the mice. Of course they'll chew out of cardboard.
And you need a thermostat to control the temp of the heat pad. Without one, it will eventually kill your snake.
