I don't think it was a burn. All my other snakes are fine (they're in the same rack system) and the female he was in with is fine as well. I use under tank heating via heat tape and control it with both a timer and a dimmer.



I first noticed the color change a week after I introduced him with the female. He also had a crook in this tail and I believed him to have a possible break or fracture there.



This color change occurred in ~2 weeks.
