Hi,

Just to say increasing the depth of the substrate is an ineffective way of preventing a snake getting burnt - they are perfectly capable of burrowing down to the heatpad.

The best solution, by far, is to have the heatsource controlled so that it never gets hot enough to harm the snake at all.

However the main thing to remember is that it is entirely possible it is only shedding but that if it is a burn then it should be treated.
