By ample, I don't mean a mountain of it. By that i mean that i can stick maybe 1/4 or less of my finger into the substrate then hit glass. Maybe i misused the world "ample"
The proper amount of substrate to use on a regulated uth is 1/4 inch or less. Anything over that will start creating the situation I described above.
Search Google images for burned snakes and search some of the threads here about the vet bills for them.
