How can I provide the optimal heat rock setup for my snake's enclosure?
To provide the optimal heat rock setup for your snake's enclosure, place the heat rock on one side of the tank to create a temperature gradient. Use a thermostat to regulate the heat rock's temperature to around 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure the heat rock is large enough for your snake to comfortably rest on and monitor the temperature regularly to ensure it stays within the safe range for your snake's species.
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".
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.
