First, allow me to explain myself. So I bought 1.4 adult bp's two days ago off a breeder who's liquidating his collection (the girls may be gravid). We just bought a house, which we are literally in the middle of moving into, and I haven't been able to keep a ball since we moved into our current apartment, so I didn't have any of the requisite gear on hand when I purchased the snakes.

I quickly ordered racks from Animal Plastics (which will take a month or so to get here, I know) and bought the corresponding tubs so that I could set up makeshift homes for my new friends while we waited for their new accommodations to arrive. Plastic tubs, 1 hide, 1 water bowl, paper towel substrate (until I can get better bedding), and yes, a UTH. I bought medical heating pads with 6 temperature settings, and I've been checking the temperatures regularly with a digital gun. I know that I need a T-stat, but we are literally moving tomorrow, and I haven't been able to pick one up yet.

Temps looked good, even a little low - mid 80s on the warm side, upper 70s on the cool - so I upped the setting by one notch on my UTHs. Temps started looking more normal - upper 80s, lower 90s high, low 80s low. Much to my shock and dismay, when I checked my snakes not 30 minutes ago, all four girls have some pink coloration on the lower half of their bellies. One is almost unnoticeable, two are definitely noticeable but a very light shade of pink, and one is a bit darker than the others. I'm pretty sure that they are burns and I'm just sick about it.

I've got the heat moved to the back wall of their tubs, rather than directly under, until I can get them hooked up to a T-stat. I feel awful, but how it happened is now under the bridge, I've got to figure out what I can do next. I know that the classic steps are "paper towel substrate (check), as clean as you can, and take them to the vet." I guess my question is whether I need to take all of them in when the burns seem so mild on three. I don't have pics yet, but hopefully will by tomorrow. Is there some kind of sign I should be watching for, something that says "now you need to take me to the vet?"
