Where do you live? There are usually 24-hour "emergency" clinics that will be open.

So is this an emergency situation? Or will he make it thru monday? I used a betadine solution on him. It appears that he also has blisters on his scales

I would call that an emergency. The snake could easily die of blood poisoning (sepsis). The wound/infection is very extensive.

What type of heat source are you using?

I am using a heating pad but i think he burned himself. He moved the chips from the reptibark out of the hide and sat on the glass. Never had a problem until i moved him onto the bark for burns

Do you have a thermostat controlling the heat pad?

No i do not. Im probably going to move to a lamp because of this. He didnt have any problem with heat while he was on carpet. It was just about perfect. There isnt any emergency clinics i can find around my area (Des moines Iowa) that treat exotics and herps but there is one about an hour away but it closes at 12 tomorrow. Ill try to make it their tomorrow

That is what the problem is. You need a thermostat to control a heat pad, as they get extremely hot and can cause severe burns, such as what has happened to your little guy. I would turn the heat mat off for now, so it doesn't burn him more. I hope you are able to get him to the vet tomorrow, he's gotta be in a good amount of pain. :( Please keep us posted!
