bad shed? plus UTH question.

hi all,
my snow corn just shed last week wednesday and i noticed a 1/4 inch section on her back looked like no scales were present and little blood blisters or something was there.(no actual blister, just looks like blood spots[very small]w/ no scales)
is this a burn or to much skin was shed?
or no scales grew back?please answer this one^^^^^^^ and the one below if you can ---thanks!

Another important question-----my UTH get pretty hot but they have substrate over the top of them (aspen). i was just worried that my snake will burrow under the substrate and come in contact with the glass above the UTH and burn herself. will snakes do this?---how do i regulate my UTH?
 
Yes your snake can burrow under the aspen and get burned by the UTH. An unregulated UTH can reach 120F. I didn't just read this- I have seen it.

So buy a thermostat for your UTH. If you Froogle ZooMed 500R you can find that one for around $20, or Big Apple Herps has one for about $35.

Or you can build a rheostat yourself with a lamp dimmer very cheaply if you're into that- just search for lamp dimmer rheostat and you will find it.

I'm sorry- I don't know about the shed question- can you post a picture?
