Yesterday by UTH heater that i use for my 88gram ball python, in a 42 qt sterilite tub, overheater and burnt up. It was very hot and burned the tub, the towel in was in (i dont use uth directly on plastics tubs) and put a giant burn on the carpet.
My ball was in shed and did have the sense to move, and he almost got cooked. For a while after that he just "gazed" and open his mouth gasping for air. He looked pretty bad like he was going to die.
On instinc i figured he was dehdryated and really needed to be rehydrated to shed, i put him in a smaller tub with wet paper towels, and soon enough he started to shed.
Now he 100% better, he moves around, flickers his tounge and looks great after his shed (he defecated 3 times in one week wow!!)
I know post like this dont usually get replies. but i had a near death experience with my snake and hes ok. thanks
