Ah, well I didn't know, I don't use under the tank heaters(except for my boa) been too scared to use 'em for my pythons/ longer than a couple of hours.

Are you using a thermostat? Thermometer probe goes under substrate on top of glass right over uth. Get that tape out of your enclosure ASAP! Absolutely no tape goes anywhere inside of cages, you do not want to see what happens if it gets stuck to your snake.

do not put the probe inside the tank, it goes between heat mat and the enclosure. if it is inside the tank the snake can do multiple things to change the temps. spilled water or a cold snake laying on it can end up with you snake being burned. Only time I find using a probe inside acceptable is with overhead heating, with the probe being securely elevated. Check your temps with a temp gun or some other reliable way to measure temperature, you may have to set your thermostat a few degree higher to maintain your target temp. However with glass you might not.

From the pictures it looks very minor. Make the appropriate changes to your enclosure and monitor the snake, but i doubt they will see any ill effects.
