Answer
Hello Tristan,

First thing is to remove the heat mat and buy a new one. The sopt is getting to hot and your snake is lying on it for to long. This means the ambient air temps is not controled properly and will lead to your snake seeking heat all the time.

Remove any substrat and put down paper towels this will help control infection. Good luck
