The same thing happened to me about 3 years ago when I first got into the hobby and I was sloppy and still researching about BP's at the time. my female sat on the over heated hot spot and burned her underside so bad she had an open wound all along her belly. I knew she was a goner. I was soo upset at my stupid mistake and it cost her her life. she died 2 days later. since then I properly educated myself and have alot more experience now. I shouldn't have jumped right into the hobby as fast as I did but that will NEVER happen again!!!! R.I.P. Hissy
