I just have to ask why you seek this info? It is easy to assume that your burm already has some sort of injury and you are trying to treat it at home. If this is the case, of course, take it to the vet. That's it, no more, thank you come again

I wish I had pic's that I can post here but those that I do have are all in some sort of program that I can't get into kingsnake...part of a continueing education thingy. Do you know what the 3 degrees of burns are in humans? They look the same if you can imagine it on scaled skin. It is important to remember that burns often don't show there true severity for a few days after it has occured.

All burns should in fact be brought to a veterinarian. Minor burns that are limited to slight reddening of the skin are often left without treatment, but the risk of infection or other complications exists. If the skin is broken, scales are missing, or any blistering is apparent, then topical, and systemic antibiotics are warranted, plus possible fluid therapy. Obviously this is via a vet visit.

I hope this helps fill your curiousity, any more specific questions, feel free to ask
