Keep the wattage as low as possible so a failed thermostat wont cook the animal. To make it simple, in Sydney a 15 watt matt about half under the enclosure in summer. In winter you can put the whole matt under the enclosure. Watch the snake - If it is chasing heat the enclosure is too cold. If it is avoiding heat the enclosure is too hot. It is much easier to adjust the amount of matt under the enclosure than changing bulbs!
