Follow the instructions. Most of the ones you buy in the petstores get too hot to let the snake contact it directly.

what are you using for a substrate?is it warm on the underside of the heater?(below the cage)too thick a substrate can keep the heat from reaching the surface.with a glass cage,if it gets too hot,the glass could break.

Have you actually measured the temp w/ a reliable thermometer? My experience with the under the tank heaters is that it may not feel warm, but your thermometer will proof it to be hotter than you think.
