You hopefully didn't stick the pad to the bottom of the tank. This is usually how burns happen when the heat pad is stuck directly to the glass heating it up too much. Rheostat of some sort is your best bet either way. If it's already stuck to the glass don't pull it off that usually ruins it. It's best to have the heat pad on a rheostat and use a piece of cardboard to get it close to the tank glass and leaving a gap around the bottom edge of the tank so heat doesn't build up too much.
Thicker layer of bedding means the snake can burrow under the substrate if it wants to.
How are you supposed to set up the UTH then?
For every 15-foot python out in the Everglades, there are thousands of species of clams, trees, cats, grasses and birds that are wrecking just as much havoc across the globe. So, for all the headaches the snakes are causing, I at least applaud them for being scary enough to get people's attention.
