Ive had a male banana ball python for 2 years now and haven't had any problems until now. He was going through a particularly rough shed and burrowed deeper in the substrate than he normally does (cocoblox substrate) and ended up close to where the heating pad was placed (I had ordered a thermostat recently but, it hasn't come yet). He just ate 4 days ago and his attitude/energy hasn't changed at all but, his belly is a little pink which worries me. I soaked him in water with betadine but, I was curious if theres anything else I can do to help his recovery. I changed all the substrate to paper towels for the time being. Here are some pics of whats happening
