Okay I am going to try. For 15 years old, that rack looks pretty good! BUT.....it looks like those two big bins are using the bottom of the shelf as their lid is that right? Looks to me like that is some sort of chip board or press board. When that stuff gets moist, it can secrete toxic vapors and or grow mold on a microscopic level. This could be what is making your snake sick. You need to fix this by either using lids with the bins or fixing the rack so the chip board is not exposed. Do not get any more animals, you do not have space or money to take care of them. Focus on what you have. Were me, I would try to get everyone well then sell some of them and only keep a few for a while until you get the hang of things. The burn: pics are really bad but it does not look like a burn to me. Just in case keep her on clean paper towels until her belly looks normal Put the probe in the right place (directly on the heat tape stuck with metal tape not inside a bin) and read a care sheet on this forum.

Buy a temp gun to be sure your herpstat is doing what the animals need. The snake with a URI will need injections. A reptile vet will teach you how to give them. Oral meds are stressful and don't work well in ball pythons. Do not even try to feed that snake until it is better, it wont eat and it is stressful. Breeding costs money, don't focus on that until you know all the ins and outs of this hobby.
