Two heatmats?

[Scoop the snake]

So currently in my BRBs rub set up the hot spot doesn't seem to rise any higher that 26 if i keep the thermostat at 30C, if i set the thermostat to max (35C) it will get to 27C almost 28C at times, but i dont feel comfortable doing it like that since my BRB seemingly likes to burrow and i dont want any burns. I have a heat mat arriving today or tomorrow, so would it be okay to use another heat mat on the side? and would i need another thermostat for that or could i use the thermostat i have now just adjust the temps on it?

if i use a temp gun on the top, all i get are temps of 21C to 20C. I am really worried for my snakes health at the moment, the humidity is fine just not the heat.

Your temps are fine. Between 20c to 29c is perfect for BRB's. Just don't go above 29c or 85f. Anything higher can be deadly to BRB's.
