I'm not sure if by this you mean a heat pad is bad? If so I must say they are not bad....They are actually recommended for a snake.
Of course a reptile heat pad is needing and under the tank... not in it.
use one according to the size of tank.
I use these

You have to have it controlled in order for them to be safe otherwise they can reach over 120 degrees. Use a dimmer or thermostat to control

If your not getting at "heat mats are bad advice" then I guess I just gave you extra info :P
A minimum of a 20gallon long tank is suggested for your adult snakes although bigger benefits..
Aspen is a great bedding
