    Re: HELP! I'm a bad mom :( BURN/SCALE ROT??

    Hi,

    It definately looks like something you want to have looked at.

    Hopefully some of these links can help you find a qualified herp vet near you.

    Link 1.

    Link 2.

    If you give the other members an idea of where you are they might also be able to suggest someone - and also asking any local zoo's or exotic pet shops can give good contacts.

    Sometimes even non-herp vets might know of someone local they can recomend.

    In the meantime I would use paper towels or newspaper as a substrate to help keep it clean and look around for info on thermostats to control the UTH so it can be used safely in the future.

    When you set it up always measure the temps on the bare glass as that is the maximum the snake can be exposed to and set that to around 93-95f and then adjust the depth of the substrate till the inside of the hot hide is in the 90-94f range.

    Good luck with the lil guy and keep us posted about how he gets on at the vets etc.
