I'm not sure exactly what you mean by putting the heat rock under the dirt. If its not plugged in, you can put it anywhere, but I wouldn't plug it in and then bury it. Apart from safety concerns in doing that, snakes sometimes burrow down to get cool - they don't expect the ground to get warmer as they burrow.

If I cant bury the heat rock plugged in under the dirt, then is there any other ways to keep the snake warm with the heat rock? or else to lamps? also my snake is in a 25 gal tank and there is a glass devider that i put in there so I can have a Tarantula in there also. But the Tarantula also only has a quarter of the tank. If that makes any difference. It is snake proofed for sure though. My snake is also only about 32cm-35cm long.

Well I don't see why you are keeping a tarantula and a cornsnake in the same cage, divider or not.
And throw the hot rock out. They are HORRIBLE for ANY reptile. Your snake should have a heating gradient. Hot side around 84 with cool side room temp. Use heat lamps or undertank heaters only. Never hot rocks.

Good stuff. 
Make sure you use a decent thermometer and see what the temp is under the light in the cage. You wouldn't want to overheat the snake, and lights get HOT. Even the lowest wattage usually pushes temps far past 84.

Also watch out for dessication with them heat lamps. Heat great but tend to dry things out fast. Keep an eye on the water dish.

get the tarantula out of there, and take that snake to a vet and get a fecal done! especially since it is from a pet store! And learn to research things before you buy. Would you buy a car without driving it? Well it's kind of the same thing, you are making a commitment to something that can live 15 years (I think it's 15 years, I'm sure someone will correct me)

I did do alot of research on cornsnakes and knowhere does it say that you should not keep a snake and a tarantula in a cage devider together. Its not like the snake can get into the tarantula cage. I snake proofed it. And besides what would happen to them? they cant kill eachother

snakebeginner. they can transfer parisites/diseases to each other. not to mention snakes are sensitive to motion of other animals as are tarantualas. undo stress to both. but that again is my opinion.
later

I agree chamitch.
The only reason it doesn't say it is becuase it is a "common sense." Kind of like you don't house a croc next to a chicken coop.
It's not like they can be like, "oh it's only a corn snake/tarantula."
And I think you mentioned dirt!? What kind of dirt are you using?
