if it's glass i would go with a large heat pad big enough for 1/3 to 1/2 the length of the tank. i use heat tape for racks but i wouldnt for aquariums they just dont seem like it would be big enough to heat glass. i would either get the pad or try a wider heat tape. if you want to stray from heat lights and all that your room's ambient temperature needs to be in the ideal range for the snake. my room is 80 to 85 degrees in the day & 80 to 75 in the night.. the heat tape is just for purposes of a "hot spot" if you are trying to use it to creat the ambient heat in the tank I don't see it working well.
