okay, first off, time to find a new vet. your girl may have belly burns, but putting a heat rock in will not rectify that situation. instead, pick up a thermostat. it'll keep belly temps where they have to be to avoid burns. Hydrofarm makes affordable ones, although more popular models include the VE100 and the Herpstat collection.

Heat rocks are garbage.

baths are really unnecessary unless you're doing a betadine rinse. even then, the water should be room temp, not warm to your touch at all. when you sprinkle it on your wrist, it shouldnt have any heat, kinda the way you would test a baby bottle.

what is your humidity? the other option is a possible case of scale rot, caused by too much moisture.
