    Do you have a thermostat controlling the heat mat? If not, you need one asap, as that unregulated can burn your snake. The half log hides aren't very secure and could be why he was hissing, he's not happy. Could also explain why he was defensive in your other thread when you try to take him out. You need to read a care sheet and get your temps within range, and know your temps. A heat pad alone is not going to get yoir temps where you need them. Too cold your snake can get sick, too hot on the pad, a bad burn.
