Dont. Attach the stat probe to the mat (with heat glue or aquarium sealant) and weigh the mat down with a heavy hide or something like that. If its fixed down it will be a pig to clean.

Yes - the stat will control the heat so it won't matter if he burrows underneath.

When I first started, the shop (and the heatmat instructions) told me to stick the mat down with Gaffer tape ...)
