Yeah I actually saw an article on that, wasn't it in a REPTILES mag? Ever since then I've been paranoid too, so I dont feed them with the blanket in the tank, just not willing to chance the cotton surgery... bad juju. I hope that snake is okay!
I actually stopped using "in-tank" heating 2 years ago when my little albino standard phase female burrowed down to an undertank heater I had set up for her, and then added like 3 inches of substrate. She burrowed right to the glass and stayed there for like 3 days. Toasted her tail end, lost about a quarter of an inch off the tip of her tail, and lots of sheds later her scars remain. I read somewhere that scarring was the norm, rather than the exception. Unfortunate for all.
Thanks for the heads up though, it's nice to have people support me and my ideas rather than quote a time they "got" to shoot a snake or some such nonsense.
