Undertank heater question

I am in the process of setting up for my very first snake and have a question about undertank heaters.

If my snake is a burrower, should I be concerned about it resting on the bottom of the tank over the heater, possibly resulting in burns? Is there something I should put on the floor of the tank under the substrate as a barrier? I plan on using Aspen for a substrate and I know that isn't very dense.

Thanks for your thoughts!
