I had a blood panel done on my bearded dragon when I first took her to the vet and I believe it took about 4-5 days to get it back and get a copy of it. just be aware they aren't cheap lol. I believe the blood work cost about $80-100, cant remember exactly now.

The OP and I went over this in another thread. The cage seems to be fine but what I believe happened was a technique of using heated damp pads in a tub during transport caused a mild burn. I believe the items the snake was laying on burned it as the heat ran through the moisture with very little resistance. I believe this because of how heat can so easily transfer through moisture and the way the red marks are seen. They are not regular and appear to be in strange pattern, a pattern like Id expect a towel or such to be with a snake laying on it and causing it to fold and wrinkle.

Yep! Thanks KMG. I remember.
