if its on a thermostat then there should be no problem.

i dont have a dimmer, but the pad that i have doesnt get too hot. I have it on my other tank, and it doesnt seam like it would melt it, but i dont want to risk it.
Should i mount it on to the plastic, or just put in underneath it?

Thanks!

You'll want to be really sure about those temps. Get a digital thermometer (Accurite from Walmart is a good brand). What mght just feel warm to you could be way too hot for the snake. Never guess when it comes to safety . Good luck!

though it might not seem like it, it more than likely will melt it or if not, will definetly get too hot for your snake
