The burned snake

1 Jun 2024 · Care advice

A snake came in with burns to its nose and body, almost certainly from a heat source with no guard. It has since been rehabilitated.

It's a reminder for every keeper: always put a guard over heat bulbs, run heat mats through a thermostat, and check temperatures regularly.
