He's not retarded.
Sometimes reptiles just don't move from a too hot area until its too late and damage is done.
Not to "beat a dead horse" but that's entirely too hot.

I wouldn't say he's retarded btw, but for unknown reasons many snakes have gotten burned either from UTH or overhead heat that's too high...they
seem not to be able to sense when it's too much until it's too late. That's why we're all trying to keep you & yours out of trouble...burns can be serious
or fatal, they take a long time to heal & are very very painful. We don't want you to learn the hard way.
