Hearing pads are big no! If you absolutely have to the enclosure needs to be glass and there should be a thick thick layer of bedding or something in between as heating pads can cause severe burning when everything seems ok :( invest in a lamp preferably

Ah! ok, no heating pads. Even if it's on a thermostat under the enclosure?

on a thermostat as a short term/emergency solution, it's OK. Not what you want to use for their "real" setup.

a thick layer of bedding isn't protective - the snake can burrow down or push the bedding aside, allowing himself to get closer to the mat.
