It is safest to assume your snake will burrow at some point and avoid any possible problems rather than just assume it will never do it.

Agreed, but I found this to be impossible. For me, the temp on the glass would be much higher than 92-95 in order to get the temp inside the hide to 90-93. I have switched to the cage carpet for now. I know it is not a very popular substrate, but but so far so good with the temps. IMO it looks a lot better than newspaper or paper towels too.
