    Re: Update on My snakes burns.

    Thanks you guys, my rheostat is helping alot for now, and I've bumped up the humidity considerably. I plan on getting her a meal this weekend, the smallest mouse I can get my hands on, how can I get her more hydrated???? I spray her and she has a large water bowl, but she seems a little crinkly to me.

    Any tips?

    Make sure that her tank isn't too wet-- it can lead to scale rot.

    Re: Update on My snakes burns.

    Just make sure the tub/tank humidity is staying constant at around 50-60% and she has access to clean water, eats healthy prey that is well fed and well hydrated itself and I'm sure she'll be fine. Likely she's in poor condition due to the injury and stress. Once she's healed and has shed a couple of times she'll likely look fine again.

    Just make sure you aren't oversoaking her. Sort of like when you sit in a bathtub for hours and you end up dried out, snakes can also lose moisture from being soaked too often or for too long a period.
