    How long does it take for a minor burn to go away?

    My ball python has a minor burn, she acquired last Tuesday. It's only a pinkish-red. How long on estimate do you think it will take to go away?

    I don't know from experience, but usually any minor wound will fade with a couple sheds. That's for scratches and such at least, I'm not sure if the same goes for burns.

    How did she get the burn? Is your heat source plugged into a working thermostat?

    Yes. It's from when I transported her. I live in Canada and it's very cold right now. When I transported her, I made heat pads out of wet cloths and put them in ziplock bags under a towel in her bin. I didn't realize they were too warm.

    Are you sure it's actually a burn, and not just a pinkish belly from going into shed?

    Being it is fairly minor, Id say it would be gone in two or three sheds.
