Brown spots on ball python's tail?

[aspen_opossum]

Alright, I will try to tell him to use UTH once I get back to school, and direct him to this website too. But that will be on January 5th, is there anything I can do to heat the enclosure until then?

Whats really annoying is he told me she needed heat to digest but also not to handle her after eating, so im really not sure what he expected me to do. And why, despite knowing that, does he keep them at room temperature? I don't have her at any worse conditions than he has her normally, so no, its not just a problem with the temporary care

His level of care for the animals seems weirdly inconsistent. He even has other reptiles, and other snakes, that he gives heating and more enrichment in their enclosures. But his care for some of his other animals also seems bad, like an owl that he keeps in a big cage in his room where it constantly has to be awake during the day and probably stressed out by all the students. Its wings are tattered from flapping against the cage. He also has a bunny with a genetic disorder (its neck is twisted so its head faces the wrong direction) in a cage thats much too small, and a cornsnake missing a jaw which I assume he just throws live rats in with (I could be wrong about that, but when I was helping with the animals for a grade I noticed the newspaper in its cage was covered in blood. it also had two shed skins in it which makes me think he hadn't cleaned it in a while). Honestly, everything seems to be unsanitary. So.. maybe I should contact animal control anyways?
