Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have a major problem. I recently got a pastel, spider, and normal ball pythons that are a little over a month old. Temporarily, I have them in sterilite shoe boxes, with small UTH's under the bottom connected to a rheostat. I had them in a separate room for the time being. The room stays at a constant temp of 75, using a small heater with built in thermostat.
While I was at work today, my sister and nephews came over.
One of my nephews messed with the heater and set it to a constant 95 degrees!!
This room was at that temp for around 10 hours. By the time I got home and found this, there is no telling how hot the inside of the tubs got. The pastel was in the water bowl, the spider was curled up on what was the cool side not moving, and the normal was laying on what was the cool side not moving with it's mouth slightly open.
I immediately got the snakes out of the room, and went outside to cool them off.
The pastel and the spider seem Fine, I'm just worried they might have gotten burned, but they really don't look like it. The normal still has It's mouth open, drooling a little bit, and doing kind of what resembles a spiders wobble.
Could this be a respiratory Infection because of the insanely high temps it was in for a while? Or could it be something else?

Could these snakes have any long term damage?

Thanks for any help anyone can give!!

Only time will tell. I am sorry for your situation. there is almost nothing you can do other than get thermostats instead of rheostat and kid proof.

Good luck!

I would continue to monitor them, and make sure they are staying hydrated. Examine their bellies for contact burns (they will be pink and slightly blistered if they are burnt). They need some time to re-adjust at a stable temperature.

I don't have too much experience with the whole room getting warm. When we first got into the hobby we had a thermostat go bad on one of our enclosures and one of our girls got burnt pretty bad. I would say watch them, make sure they are drinking, give them a chance to recover. Do NOT hold them any more than necessary i.e. checking for burns as this will stress them out. Our female was sore but recovered just fine. Good luck with your babies, hopefully someone who has more experience can help.

Thanks for the replies. I normally would have them on a thermostat, but I'm in the process of building a new snake rack. My snake room has a harder time staying at a constant temp, so I had them in the bedroom. That's why I was using the rheostat temporarily. I am kicking myself in the butt for not going ahead and hooking up the thermostat to the bins.
I think my normal female may have suffered from a heat stroke. I am going to watch her very closely, and if the time comes that I feel she is not going to get any better, Or if she starts to get worse, I will have to euthanize her. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I won't have any animal suffer. The other two seem to be doing fine, but I am going to continue to monitor them as well.

She'll be fine! I had an incident a few years back that killed about 6-7 babies and left a few as you speak! They recovered nicely and continue to do fine!
