Are those yellow scales puffy and swollen or dried out?
I'll let someone with burn experience help you out with those, but is your snake tongue-flicking and wrapping around you when you pick him up? If a snake is really on death's door they'll tend to be more non-responsive. Hopefully he's responsive and you won't have to worry as much till he gets to the vet.

Ive seen worse burns than that recover. It will take time and you are going to have to keep your husbandry on point.

Re: I'm worried my snake is on death's door
The scales are still swollen... I've been keeping him dry and clean and on paper towels. And yeah he's pretty responsive so far.

I have one that was way worse.
Just remember clean paper towels all the time.

Re: I'm worried my snake is on death's door
My snake had a burn - he burrowed to the glass one day which he never has done in 2 years ... I had the UTH on the outside of the tank, but it was unregulated (my mistake) - his burn wasn't as deep as yours and he needed injections every 3 days and a cream to restore the skin etc. There's a chance this gets infected on the outside then your looking at spreading to an internal infection. I would get him to the vet asap as you said. He's fully healed and back to normal now, with some scarring in the bad spots.
I wish you luck
