    Having a heat pad or heat tape underneath the enclosure to provide belly heat is perfectly fine. Just make sure that both (RHP and belly heat) are on a thermostat. I personally prefer the Herpstat 2. That's how both of mine enclosures are set up right now though.

    However, from reading a lot of threads on heating, I don't think a hot spot is really necessary for digestion. A lot of bigger size breeders on here just heat the entire room for their collection without providing belly heat and the snakes seem to be thriving just fine.
