under floor heating

[Fuscus]

What are the benefits or problems in using under floor heating (i.e. heat pads) as the primary source of heating for young snakes?

Depending on how big, or small the enclosure.
It doesn?t create much, if any heat besides the actual area it covers. (Winter mainly)
Also I found the snakes don't seem to ever leave the hide on the warm spot and you never see them.
I have used them with critter cages, but prefer heating from the top.

I run a heat strip along the shelf. The click-clacks sit on top with heat source at the back. I put a perch in as well up the warm end.
It works for me.
