Many years ago someone brought a ball python to me with this type of burn. I immediately recognized the situation was more than I could handle and I urged them to take the animal to a vet. They did take it to a vet, but the snake did not survive the burn. This kind of thermal burn actually "cooks" the internal organs.

It's so important to have any heat source you use regulated by a thermostat or even a dimmer switch to ensure this does not happen to your animals.
