I feel that a snake should be able to lay coiled with it's entire body pretty much directly under the heat source. If they're unable to do so with proper temperature gradients, they won't be able to effectively warm up their entire body, at the same time, which I feel is necessary.
With larger snakes this usually requires placing the heat source a little further away from the end of the enclosure to allow room on both sides of the line/beam of heat. One reason why spotlights & floodlights aren't generally good heat sources for big snakes unless more than one is used for the area.
Catch ya later!
