Injured ball python

[Bogertophis]

I keep the thermostat probe fastened to a piece of bark with a rubber band. The cage has never felt warm to me so I still don't quite understand how it happened. That is why I thought they were scraping wounds.

Remember that our body temperature is roughly 98.6* F. which is too hot for any place in a snake's enclosure. To "feel warm" to us means it has to be HIGHER than our body temperature.

You cannot rely on how it "feels" to make sure it's safe for your snake! USE AN ACCURATE THERMOMETER- ALWAYS.

You cannot rely on what a thermostat is "set to"- always read independently what it REALLY is.
