Please re-read my post. I never said the heat mat didn't cause the injury when she was young. You asked if it was an unregulated heat mat. I said it was not unregulated.
The heat mat was properly regulated with a thermometer, but because she was trapped under the paper for a full day she was unable to get away and her skin was damaged. She went into an emergency shed and for a few sheds after that the tip of her tail would not shed correctly without additional soaking.
All of that happened about two years ago when I first got her. She has been shedding fine until this past weekend. The tip of the tail became an issue again. This is linked to the injury from two years ago. The heat mat incident is not a recent incident.
I'm not sure how much clearer I can make this for you.

I'm still not getting it. How does a snake get stuck under newspaper???
And was it just a typo or brain fart or are you mistaking a thermometer with a thermostat. (You said "thermometer"). They're very different things and I don't know how a properly regulated heat mat could cause damage. That's the whole purpose of the thermostat.
P.S. I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I'm genuinely trying to understand
