I'll leave it to others to advise you on how to treat your BP's burns. I don't have any experience with that, but I will advise you to move your thermostat's probe someplace where your BP can't get at it. BPs are strong, heavy bodied snakes and they will relentlessly work to dislodge your probe. I wouldn't trust any glue job to hold it in place. The probe for my RHP is suspended two to three inches below it on a fake plant. The probe for my UTH is fastened to the heat tape outside of the enclosure.
