First of all, let me just say this is my first time posting here, so I hope I've chosen the right forum for my question.
So, last Tuesday I brought my BP home from the hospital, where they had been keeping him in an incubator and medicating him for an upper respiratory infection. The incubator he was in had a small opening into the heating area with the pipes and stuff, so he managed to wiggle in there a couple times, though they kept a close eye on him. When he came home I noticed a couple of small wounds which were just from the injections, and I noticed one faint, long, thin burn on his back, which the vet said could very likely be from one of his mini escapes.
However, last night I noticed another much larger burn on his side (Picture 1), and though it looks like it has been healing, I don't remember seeing it before. He also has a strange orange/red lining on a few of his belly side scales near his neck (Picture 2).
What are these two things? Are all of these wounds okay, or is something wrong?
Also, some information that may be important:
I realized a few days ago that his heating pad was not working. I do not know how long it wasn't working for, but I bought him a new one immediately (I figured that this was probably the cause of his infection, as well). There is complete substrate cover over his new heating pad and I bought him the same exact one he had before. I don't see how this could have caused burns or whatever the red scales are, but it may be a factor.
