What is this?

I personally see a burn, definitely. Pink belly does not look that dark. So, if you feel that a vet could do more than you? Go for it. Otherwise correct your husbandry, and ideally it goes away in a couple sheds. I'm not sure about maintenance of a burn, however

Unplug your heat mat until the thermostat arrives, it will only get worse.

Definitely unplugged your heat mat until the thermostat arrives.

Clean EVERYTHING in the enclosure and put the snake on paper towels. You want a sterile environment. Pick up some betadine a use a q-tip to apply some onto the area to help clense it. Make a trip to the vet to get some burn cream and then just watch it to make sure it doesn't get infected. As long as you correct the source of the burn, it should clear up in a couple of sheds.

Def unplug till the thermostat gets there

Where could I find betadine? Is it common in stores? I unplugged the pad. Also read somewhere that you can use neosporin on snake burns. Could I just use betadine and neosporin? Would that do the trick?

This is Betadine. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/19/hepa2u2u.jpg Should be with the first aid stuff in grocery stores. And I prefer Herpstat for a thermostat. Also, don't use neosporin, it can soften the scales.
