burn

Hey guys I have a lovely 18 month Royal Python and he's a beauty. I have had him since a hatchling and know him very well. In November he got a horrible belly burn due to thermal blocking on a heat mat. The burn was quite bad, he needed daily antibiotic and painkiller injections for 3 weeks...

So, I am not trying to open a can of worms on this one. I am genuinely interested. Too often in our hobby, people do stuff, because they were told to do so by someone else, and it becomes an absolute rule and our animals will die without doing it, even though people who don't do it, have happy...

Hello Been treating our royal with a burn by soaking in a weak iodine bath a couple of times a day and coating in savlon after drying him off. I have previously used the dry antiseptic savlon spray and found it healed it very quickly but they have since discontinued it. I know you can get...

I have a normal royal python, ozzy, recently about 3 months ago we realised he had redness all up his stomach, took him to the vet they said he was burnt off his heat mat, so they give him a course of injections of antibiotics and painkillers every three days, we took the heat mat out, replaced...

I've had my female Sonoran dwarf boa out and she has a mark running down part of her spine which looks like a healed over burn, or a scar from an injury. I can't work out what has caused it. :sad: Other than myself she is never handled by anyone else. I've had her since she was 4 months old...

quick question, can a 60 watt bulb on a very low temp on a dimmer stat burn a snake?? cheers

As some of you may have read, I picked up a young boa two weeks ago. He wasn't in the best of conditions, being over fed and had both a mat and heat bulb in a 3ft viv, both unstatted leading to horrific heats. Anyway, I was a bit alarmed about his underside, however haven't been on laptop to...
