Can I take the pad off and it's still sticky to put it somewhere else? Also, should I get a heat lamp? I know ball pythons prefer belly heat since they hide a lot and are noctournal, but would a ceramic heat bulb be good for the hot side?
I'd just keep to the heat mat to be honest .. as others have said it goes under the tank ( has to be regulated by a thermostat though !) ..

As regards your question about re-using the sticky heat mat ... I've done it many times .. it can be a little tricky easing it off the glass but if you're firm and gentle they do peel off gradually.

It can then be stuck under one end of the viv. If it's not sticky it doesn't really matter as it's not going anywhere..
