Yes, corn snakes do need a source opf heat in their tank to keep their body temperature high enough, (75-80 degrees f). but heating pads aren't the best thing for the snakes because if it gets too hot, it will burn the snake as they do not have senses in theire scales. A heating lamp is a much better alternative.

Is using a heating lamp for corn snakes My corn snake seems a lot happier with both heating lamp and pad is that all right?
Using a heating lamp for a corn snake is not a bad thing, however not necessary. As a North American species it is adapted to live at low temperatures during winter and high temperatures during summer. During lower temperatures snakes become less active and can hibernate. The addition of both a heat lamp and heat pad won't harm the snake as long as the snake has a place to go to escape both if it so chooses.
Is it all right to use heat lamp for a corn snake I use a heating pad but he seems more happy with both bad idea?
It is alright to use a heat lamp for a corn snake in combination with a heating pad as long as the snake has a place to go where he can escape both. Corn snakes don't live an extremely high temperatures and do well between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. As long as he has a place to go that is between or lower than these temperatures he should be fine, preferably a shaded area such as under a crevice or "snake house".

What do you need to keep a baby corn snake?
Babies need to be fed pinkie mice, and so you'll certainly need a supply of those. Until they grow a bit, neonates can be kept in tupperware boxes with just a paper towel as substrate. They need a water bowl, though they don't soak as much as older snakes so it doesn't have to be huge. They will need a sturdy rock to rub against. This will help them shed. Don't underestimate how strong your snake it- when I say a sturdy rock I mean it. They'll also need a hide box so that they can feel safe. Snakes need to thermoregulate themselves, so one side of the enclosure will need to be warmer than the other. Thte best way to do this is to put a heat pad under half the cage, or place is half on a heating duct. Obviously, your snake will grow, so before you commit to getting a snake you'll need to make sure you can look after an adult corn snake as well as a baby. Your best bet is to buy a book (or ten) on caring for corn snakes. You can never be too well researched.
