Hi I am just setting up my viv for a boa i will be getting soon, i was advised by the shop to get a heat bulb to be used in the day and a heat mat to be used at night. On the heat mat instructions it says place under the viv on top of polystyrene sheet & a 5mm air gap should be left between mat and viv. I have a wooden viv and wondered if this was going to heat it up ok, i have also seen vivs set up with heat mats inside but was worried about this burning the snake even though it would be on a thermostat, is there something you place over the heat mat to prevent this, could someone please give me some advice on whats best to do
Many Thanks
