ok. where to begin. How are you measuring the temperature of the heating pad and what are they? How do you regulate it, as in do you have a thermostat, if not its possible he got a minor burn. I would not stress the snake getting the bedding wet from crawling through his water bowl, you said you use newspaper correct? switch to papertowels and change them regularly. So you are saying that you leave the snake in your car? How do you know its only 80-85 inside your car? Thats too cold anyway. If it is 80-85 outside it could easily be over 100 inside the car????? You cannot expect your snake to eat if your are overly stressing him by dragging him around in a car and leaving him there. You should only be attempting to feed every 4-7 days anyway. Just take him to the vet, let them look at it, the neosporin could have caused the damage to the healthy scales.
