Heat source

Yes. I use a heat pad that's attached to the bottom of the tank and only covers 1/3 of the area (you want to leave at least 1/2 of the tank cool). I bought mine at our local pet store. Others use special "heat tape" under part of the tank or containers. For more on this, you can review past threads that deal with heating. And, of course, the bible of cornsnake owners: The Cornsnake Manual!
 
I also use a heat pad.
You can use a heat lamp but I don't like them because 1. They use more electricity 2. You have to replace bulbs when they burn out 3. you have to switch daytime and nighttime bulbs 4. they dry out the air

more info on the Corn Snake Manual: It's by Bill and Kathy Love and you can buy it at www.corn-utopia.com. It's worth it.
 
Of course it does. A heat mat is the best bet and should make the substrate reach about 85 degrees. The mat should be placed at one end of the tank and the other end should be around 75 degrees. Without proper temperatures, snakes cannot function properly, especially where digestion is concerned.
