Skin Problem with my ball python - HELP...

Skittles101-
I will update as soon as the vet calls to pick up the meds he ordered. At this point I think the UTH is evil, when it's my fault for not having it regulated with a thermostat in reality. I can take responsibility. I do a ton of research, i like to think im pretty educated with my snake... It was a simple mistake. The UTH wasn't even attached to the tank, it was sitting half an inch under the tank - not sure how this happened. That was be being precautions. I know they are best for bps ... It will be a while before we can use it again anyways (while he heals) by then I'll have a new set up.

Thanks again will keep posted.

Here's the list of medications they have him on. Also the vet suggested that I soak Spartacus in Epsom salt bath? I haven't heard of that one? Would Betadine be as good for a soak?

Spartacus needs 7-10 injections every 3 days of cefrazidime $12.70 per shot.

silver sulfadiazine cream 2x a day

Daily Epsom salt soaks 5-10 min
Depending how he takes the soak if he's getting stressed out obv just remove him and dry him off put his cream on, let it get Into him before putting him back, so it doesn't just get wiped off inside his home.

I'm taking him in for his next shot then doing it myself after wards.
I'll ask the vet, but just wondering should this injection be muscled or under the skin.
Spartacus took it like a champ, little bit of a wiggle at the end.

Poor guy. I pray he makes it through. I wouLd be so devastated.

Thanks for all your help. I'll keep an update if anyone is interested in his progress.
