    No, you can't... The ones used for humans are simply made differently, so that their minimum heat level is way too hot for a snake. Your snake will probably cook in an hour. Do you realize that 90 degrees (the maximum average "heated" temp for a snake) just feels like room temperature to human skin?

    They're really not that expensive. Buy one on reptilebasics. https://www.reptilebasics.com/ultratherm-heat-pads

    Before you even get a heat pad though, you need a thermostat (not a thermometer... a thermoSTAT). It keeps the temperature below ~92 that you will set it at, so your snake won't cook and burn. Even the heating pads for reptiles will get up to 110 F and over, which will burn your snake, if you don't have it plugged into a thermostat.
