Never Owned a Snake Before

Congrats on your new BP. I prefer to use Ultratherm UTHs with my tubs. Even without a thermostat they won't melt the plastic but I'd highly advise using them with a reliable thermostat.

It looks to me like your snake has stuck shed on the lower length of its body. If that is correct you need to do something about it as it will cause blood flow restriction in the tail tip and may cause necrosis. I would take a small pillow case and wet it with luke warm or room temp water. Not Hot. Put the snake in there and tie of the end so it cannot get out and let it crawl around for at least an hour or two in the bag. When you take it out, if the shed hasn't come off yet see if you can start rolling it down toward the tail. Your snake will thank you for it.

Okay. I do have the screening hot glued on there. I also have him a sauna in a cool whip tub with some warm wet paper towels and got it all off after I took that photo
