    Emergency, need help

    First thing tomorrow morning, if it's not too late, is taking my BP to the vet. He may only be a normal, but he's my favorite of all my snakes. Well, I have been out of the town over the weekend, and just made it back. Apparently my roommates through a huge party over the weekend, and someone got into my room to mess with my animals. For the most part it seems nothing serious, except that of my lone snake on a rheostat. Apparently someone slid the dial all the way on, and it's been that way for what I can assume to be two days, stuck at 120+ (my thermometer only reads up to 120). I knew that radiant heat panel was an accident waiting to happen. But... the damage has already been done. He's alive, but limp/bloated past the first 10 inches, and he's almost 3 1/2 ft long. He looks as though he's struggling to breathe, and he's still rather alert, but most of his body feels as though it's already dead. Is there ANYTHING I can do to help him until tomorrow when he goes to the vet?

    I don't know whether he's been cooked, or they had him out and somehow paralyzed him, or what... all I know is that I'm freakin out a bit. And of all my snakes, it had to be this one.

    Umm I'm pretty sure your roommates are good people and all but they really should be more responsible and NOT let anybody into your room. There's ways to ensure stupid drunk people don't wander places they shouldn't. Good luck is all I can say, I hope everything works out okay.

    I am so sorry that this has happened
    There is nothing that I can say that will help you get through the night until tomorrow, but I am sending warm hugs
