Need help!

Is your snake in shed? I noticed the pink belly. Could it be with a feeder to large and shrinking skin she bruised inside?

but I would still recommend a vet. I notice the marks are very regular, and equally spaced. If your heating tape loops back and forth across the shelf you got hot spots under the snake. The thermostat wouldn't pick that up and cut the power because the effect is too localized. I suspect that if you look, you will find the marks on the snake correspond to the placement of the tape. The width of the heating element will probably correspond to the width of the marks. Other people have had pythons burned by UTH. Check out this thread, and look how similar your problem is. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...n-death-s-door This snake is more badly burned than yours, but notice the burned scales are brown, and scale loss is evident.

To check for hotspots, move the snake to a new container. Cover the bottom of the old container with a thick bath towel for 60 minutes while the tape is on. Remove the towel and quickly scan the bottom of the enclosure with an infrared thermometer. I will bet you find hot spots.

sorry for the late reply,

thanks for the help, i have been keeping her on dry paper towels till about 4 days ago when i noticed she was going into her shed...

so yeah i had to bumb the humidity.

hoping the shed will go ok and that she will look better after the shed.

Since you can't get Neosporin in Holland, try Bactroban, or any Antibiotic ointment without the pain reliever.

Betadine is great for cleaning, and disinfecting, the A/B ointment keeps on working.
